GMG springs and sway bars transformed the car - great in normal and sport mode. Not so great for driveway but not terrible. I just enter/exit slowly at an angle. The occasional lip scrape but no disasters. Certainly no radiator hose issues. Are you sure that was b/c of the suspension and not road debris or something????

I'm going to take some measurements and see if it is lower than expected.

scrape the front all day long. the oem polyurethane lip is designed to take a ton of abuse.
in normal mode i find that my car is too soft (it squats too much while cruising on the highway and going over small dips).
porsche should have spent more time cailbrating the rebound/dampening settings on the .1
Rix, what kind of tires are you running ? Can you post a pic of your car ?

Rix i run the same tire brand tire and size on my gt3 wheels. judging from my tow truck pics (lol), our cars look to be at about the same height. if youre not happy with the springs, you'll end up spending about $1k with parts and labor to put factory springs back on, and do an alignment... you might as well spend a grand and get the TPC module which will eliminate your problems (based on the feedback everyone that has one is giving).
Your car looks awesome btw.

Not too low at all. Keep it the way it sits. The stock ride height has too much of a 4x4 look to it, especially up front. Aside from the improved looks, I find the car handles much better now.
I myself recently installed H&R springs with 7mm front and 15mm rear spacers...rides perfect!
