Its hard to tell from one pic, try posting the link or multiple pics. It could just be the angle?

The wheel gap looks similar to my base 997.2 that is not lowered (no pasm). I thought the GTSs were lowered a bit?

Yes, looks like they used a wide angle lens.

Yup. Looks like PASM only (-10 mm from stock), and not Sport PASM (which would be -20 mm from stock).

OP, nice car! I'm very happy my GTS has SPASM. Parked next to my C2S, which had just PASM, it definitely looked a good deal lower and meaner. You could always lower that car later, but I'd hold out for a GTS with SPASM and LSD, if possible. If that car is otherwise nicely optioned, and in great shape, not having SPASM wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker, though. Either way, GTS is a great choice!

Don't worry about not having SPASM. $400 techart springs will put you at SPASM height of you already have PASM.

Techarts are not $400.00. There about $700.00 or higher. They are made by eibach, but to Techarts specifications. The eibachs are about $400.00. I have Techarts. Highly recommended.

That looks about right for a GTS with PASM.
