My information is that the Sport Design front is 10mm lower than the normal ride height.

10mm is only 0.4 inches, cant figure out why porsche would put all the ground clearance warnings on their brochures for the sport design kit???

Yes not a lot of difference. My same source has Sport Pasm at 20mm. Wonder why it's (SPASM) not offered on the Cab?

The clearance on my 911S with the Sport Design front is six-inches from the bottom of the spoiler to the ground.

It is 5.5 inch clearance with SPASM and the front sports design fascia. I had my dealer measure it since this is what I am getting on my C4S. Hope this helps.

Because the cab has a weaker chassis and not suited for the stiffer suspension in SPASM.

OK, that makes sense. 6" with Sport Design and 5.5" with SPASM. The Cab issue also makes sense.

5.5 inches is good. Better than my Corvette ZR1 ... with 4 3/4 inch clearance
Thanks Naaranha
