@timothymoffat thanks! Super happy with how it turned out.

@Wilder here is info on my GTS:
1. Before lowering: Standard GTS suspension (which I believe is non-PASM)
2. Lowered approx. 1 inch front and rear (reminder that standard GTS comes 10mm lower than a Base/S with PASM, at least that is what I remember)
3. Didn't change offsets (I have stock Carrera S wheels on my GTS, painted)
4. Standard Carrera S wheels 20" and 21". Still have original issue Goodyear tires, 245/35-20 and 305/30-21
5. KW Height Adjustable Spring Kit, around $1,500.

KW HAS on a 2022 GTS RWD...

I believe initial drop was circa 18mm square to allow for settling to reach around 20-21mm or close to that final level.

@Wilder Thanks very much!

@vic55 Every time I see your car it is just awesome. That color is very cool and it looks so good lowered--occasionally I think maybe I should have gotten that color too. And thank you for your prior posts on lowering, I used them a lot in figuring out what I was going to do on mine.

@philghill @vic55 @AlterZgo you've convinced me to wind the front down a little more... your cars looks great!

Outstanding! You had the best 992 cab and IMO you now have the best 992 T!

Thank you! Got custom wheels made in stock sizes with ET38 and ET57 not knowing what they would look like. I guess I do now. I will be lowering 10mm rear and 15mm front on SPASM (so already 10mm lower than PASM), though it seems your car has SPASM too because I'm expecting to be a tad higher than you. Also on Techart HAS and with GT3 skirts.

I am PASM. Since that pic it may have settled a little more.

@Tobeit thanks for the extra pics. Now I really know what it's going to look like. Absolutely love the stance. It's exactly what I wanted. Picking up the car tomorrow or Friday with new wheels, side skirts, ride height and alignment. Can't wait!

At this right height the OEM camber adjustment was just enough to get it right on the edge of the spec. So you will run at the end of the OEM camber spectrum, which makes it look pretty nice. Also, with the Gt3 side skirts I need to drive on 2x4 to get even a low profile Jack under the car. Not a big issue just something you need to be aware of. Other than that, I like the feel of the techart kit. A little stiffer but entirely good for every day use.

Thanks for the heads up. The roads where I live are awful so we may need to make some adjustments when I see it. Did you get an alignment done afterward? My plan is to get maximum camber in the front and then add another .5 neg degrees in the rear. I'm hoping for around -1.7 front. Are you anywhere near that?
