Default ROW 997S Ride Height Differences

Its my understanding that the non-US 997 models are an inch lower due to US bumber height regulations. Does anyone know whether the ROW models also use different control arms or implement other suspension alterations to compensate for change in roll center?

Your understanding is in error. European cars are 10mm lower. With the -20mm suspension they are lower still. As I understand it, it's done with the springs.

Dan, I just read the same on renntech however my question is still valid. Would RoW cars have different control arms given that the overall ride height is 30mm lower due to shorter springs and whatever else.
