Sorry for those sick of seeing these pics, but I wanted to complete the info in case someone follows the same path. Here is the car at the final height, it works great around town, I can get in and out of all the usual parking lots I like to use and it clears all reasonable dips that it was scraping on before.

It's obviously not as aggressive as before, but in some ways, I like this look better as it seems to fit the wheelarches better. In addition, I feel better knowing the control arm angles are closer to what Porsche specs. Here are the pics:

I'd say it's perfect.
Maybe the front is .1'' too low... But that's just me.

Looks absolutely stunning.

I've had the car on track now and driven it another 1,000km on the street and it's perfect at this height. It handles well, looks good, doesn't scrape and is a joy to drive.

Total drop is 8mm front and rear. Fender heights are 25.5" front and 26" rear with full tank of fuel. A tank of fuel moves the front +/- 5mm so make sure you use a consistent measure. Porsche specifies ride height is measured with a full tank of fuel.

I'm not crazy about the slammed look. A little bit higher would be my preferance.

I had mine lowered the other day, I will try to post pics soon. They said they lowered it 20mm. But i am not sure where that measurment is from. My car looks about the height of yours in the first pics, before you raised it up.

24.5 all around

Drove my GT3 at this height for over a year with a slight scraping problem leaving my driveway. Last week I had to replace my lower lip with the newer version. I try and be as careful as I can but apparently someone had lost a piece of 4"x4" wood on the freeway. I couldn't avoid it. $484.00 later I'm good to go.
