Oh Dear

Just measured up and my new Cargraphic chin spoiler will still scrape the road at the end of the drive as the girlie 4S item only just clears it. What will I tell my wife now ?? at least it won't rub up the front of main fender like the Sportec item did.

All this surprises me as the Stradale is fine, maybe the fender extends out further from the front axle on the Porsche.

Might be a good idea to look into RUF's variable hight suspension package. You could raise or lower the car and might be what you need. It's a high quality, high price item made to RUF specs by Ohlins.

As 03-turbo911 said, get the Ohlins. After 2-3 lips your break even.

A Stradale has less of an overhang and the design of the front gives you more clearance.

As long as you're considering changing cars because of the clearance issue... the Enzo also has a switch that raises the front of the car for driveways and speedbumps.
