Front axle lift

Question about the front axle lift. I got rid of my 08 GT3 because I could not deal with the low ground clearance and my driveway was steep enough to scrape the lip badly every time... I really missed my 08 GT3 after I sold it.. I found a '10 GT3 today...

So the question is, I have no problems with clearance with my current C4S. Will the GT3 with axle lift equal or be close to in "up" position in terms of front end clearance as say C2S/C4S?

Just realized I posted this question in the 997 forum instead of GT3. Sorry about that. Hopefully I can still get an answer to my question.

Close -- It's a great option for street use. Even the stock Gt3 is about equal to a lowered Turbo so witn the lift you ought to be ok

You can always go aftermarket lift system. I have seen videos of Bilsteins and it raises the car quite a bit. Not sure if the OEM system is compatible in lift height.
