You need the adjustable Ruf Sport Suspension.
Those who lower their cars for show, on city streets, ruin the ability to go.

Turning on SPORT mode with the enhanced PASM when I encounter a steep driveway has all but cured the problem. Thanks for the tip!!!

Get used to it. My 997 2S Cabrio, with a similar ride height, grounds on all kinds of situations. It cannot be avoided. Driving into transitions at an angle or using sport mode occasionally helps, but the undercarriage will still hit the pavement sometimes.

Keep this in mind when listening to the advice of those self designated "experts" that recommend lowering the car.

I got two spares from Sunset just in case. Guess what? Haven't had a scrape since. Hope you have similar luck. Kinda like finding something you lost after you buy it's replacement.

Hey Larry, when I see you next week, remind me to ask you about getting spares - I am going to paint my front lip white and would like to have some spares so mine never gets scratched too.
