Wing Height

This may be a silly question, but what is the normal wing height? And did this change for different years/models?

I saw a 997.1 today, parked with the wing in the UP position, and it was significantly lower than where mine goes. I am wondering if this is normal or not.

Here is the car I saw:



And here is mine:

Normal. Wings on cabs are higher

Since it was parked it was put up manually so depends on where they decided to stop pushing the button

As mentioned, the wing on the Cabriolet raises higher than the coupe. It's normal.

I've noticed this as well on some for sale ads. As mentioned, it seems like cabs have higher wings. Wonder if there is a way to adjust this?

I had no idea, thank you everyone for clarifying! I guess the aerodynamics are so much different that Porsche felt it needed to go higher.

The height can be adjusted by the dealer (not sure in the Durametric).

Good to know. Would be cool if the Durametric could do it.

I don't think the non cab can be raised, the tubes are a different part number I recall. The cab goes higher due to the air flow difference from the coupe.
