sort of defeats the purpose of the car and will no doubt ruin the handling

new lambos have it, some company made a kit for the CGT that raises with a button.

maybe someone can rig up a kit

Keep it at stock ride height, and be careful. Don't try and ruin the performance/handling characteristics of a great car cause you live in Boston. Drive the X5, the Vespa and the M5 when you think you will be hitting some rough roads and the GT3 when you know you are not. Problem solved.

We live in western mass and have very few problems with the ride height on our gt3. We picked up our car in boston and had no more problems there than we have out here. Just be careful and enjoy the car, it is well worth it!

Just removed the front spoiler lip to give you 2 more inches of clearance. Or buy several for replacement.

What he said, buy extra replacements. I have a very low 996 Turbo and a Boxster S with GT3 front nose. As long as you approach driveways and other steep entrances at an angle and go slow you are fine. I routinely drive in and out of one drive that lifts the wheel off the ground at the angle but I don't scrape.

thanks guys , I have begun my search for a white gt3. I just hate the noise of scraping plastic, but the front pieces are fairly cheap.

im curious about the answer to his original question. pretty sure ferrari midengine cars can be lowered with a threaded adjustment. does gt3 provide similar ability?
