Default Help 996 GT3 MK2 dimensions needed

Hi I am lowering my 964, but have a steep drive, my GT3 used to scrape the road as I pulled out , only a bit on the splitter.
Could one of you lot measure A B C on the attached plan, so I can judge the height I can go to..
A wheel centre to centre
B front centre to front of splitter, viewed from the side
C ground to bottom of splitter

GT3 was standard height UK car mk 2

I think you'll be fine with the 964. My GT3 won't go up my driveway with a front splitter and my 964 got up it just fine at RS ride height.

Good luck!

C is a worry, yours is 136mm mine now 145mm, will be appx 110mm, but your B is 952mm, mine 670mm, a foot different appx I will CAD it up and check...Thanks though
Could do with UK dims to compare...

Looks like I could be 96mm off ground at my lowest point at the front and it would be the same as the GT3 136mm, as I said 110mm is as low as I think it will be, so 14mm clear as I hit the road angle....
My mate has a Noble, I will have to try this calc on that, never dared try it on my drive!!

It would be great to check the Uk GT3 dims............to be sure!!

My GT3 (Mk2) is way lower than my 964...and my 964 was lowered to 964RS height...
I'd say that if your GT3 managed it with a little scraping then the 964 will be fine, no matter how low you go!
It's not how low the GT3 is, but the overhang...
