A must for a daily or quasi-daily driver. I have 600 city/parkway miles and no scrapes whatsoever. Lots of speed bumps at place of work and I'm able to easily negotiate all of them, even with a passenger aboard.

I had a GT3.1 and was careful and wished I had it. Just ordered GT3 RS.2 and didn't order it because you can buy a lot of chin spoilers for $3000 and it is just something else that could go wrong.

Keep It Simple Stupid comes to mind when I think of the lift system. I can understand why some guys almost have to have them due to driveways etc, but for the money, I'd rather buy a box of spoilers and tire air-dams.

not sure i agree. it adds a bunch of flexibility to use the car daily. i do agree that if it's just scratches and minor wear, it's not much of a big deal. but there are many spots where you may tear the thing off every day.

Maybe two seconds at most. It also takes about as long to come down. It makes a nice "fart" sound when the air is expelled! There is an indicator (thankfully it's fully spelled out as "LIFT") on the dash. I would guess it works via a sensor switch, since it doesn't go out until maybe a half second after the front settles.

It is definitely one option that I am humming and hawing over. I like the extra flexibility it will offer in terms of where I can drive the car (without toe-curling moments or awful ripping/scratching sounds); however, the price does equate to a lot of replacement lip spoilers and also more to go wrong.

To me it's more about how and where you're going to drive the car.

I do not see it as a price decision for the reason you stated; however, that reason has been used on this forum to debate the "value" of it.
