You say the new 992 carrera has way in the wheels? I had 991 and 991.5 with the 5mm spacers which make no difference.
I installes 12mm on 4 corners looks better than 15 12 in my opinion . Will try 12 , 10.
Regards!

I believe many people are putting 15 in the front and 18 in the rears for an aggressive looks. It looks pretty good. The YouTube video below they put on 20mm spacers in all 4 corners...

Amazing!!

does port installed mean the M performance suspension installed from factory? If it does, do they charge you anything extra besides the cost of the actual springs? Like installation.

It’s freaking $3,100 for some lowering springs

The cost includes parts and installation performed at the port.
Both are covered by your factory warranty.
For me, in the context of a $70K car, it’s worth the price and I’d do it again.

Agree. Height adjustable, full factory warranty, on the window sticker so potentially some residual value vs aftermarket.

That’s coilover money.
So that’s the route I’m taking.

Wow that 20/20 looks great!

That's coilover money before you pay for the installation. They're adjustable height, covered by warranty, won't throw a code because you're not removing the electronic dampers, which means you also get to continue using the drive modes associated with them. I call that a win.

Not for everyone, the above is just my reasoning.

For over $5k on that build I think the better route would be to get some custom wheels with the correct offset; spacers work, but are not preferred.

You can get them with the sensor delete so it doesn’t throw codes. I’ll probably install myself and if not my last set was $200 to install. Height adjustable, manufacturer warranty, can still adjust stiffness just not from the push of a button. Overall performance and not worrying about shocks/struts is what does it for me

Fair enough. I don't drive track nearly enough to need the extra benefits provided by a coilover. $200 is a ridiculously good deal too, you should hook me up with that number.

I wish the coilovers that keep the stock damping control weren’t double the price.

Having a childhood friend that owns a performance shop helps. Although I don’t know if I’d call him a friend if he’s still charging me.

I track the crap out of my M2 with 12mm front and rear spacers on a 18x10.5 apex rim. I have had zero issues as I use studs and used high quality spacers. I used to just run 12mm front and my ocd had me add them to the rear, when I was offset I didn't notice much handling difference so as far as I can tell it doesn't make a big difference.

Pros:
- More stability (less body roll during turns)
- More grip (a wider track distributes forces more evenly during cornering)
- Wider Tires (more rubber, more better)
- Aggressive appearance (this is personal taste)

Cons:
-Drag (anything outside of body panels will add drag)
-Lift (wheels can scoop air into wheel well and cause lift)
- Altered suspension dynamics (can cause more stress on suspension)

15mm spacers all around...absolutely no issues but minor rubbing on fender liner which I dremeled the vanes that are rubbing and no issue now.

How low did you go with the MP HAS? I was thinking about having this port installed when I order. Did you specify what height you wanted or do they decide?

I went with the standard port installed drop which is 10mm.

Going any lower with a front lip makes me nervous and it looks just fine to me.

Good luck.

Is this stock ride height?

Yea -10 is supposed to be how they set it at port. You can go up to -25 front and -20 rear with the adjustibility.

Do you know the available increment changes front and rear?
If they are 5mm, I may have my shop lower it temporarily and give it a whirl for a week or so.

Here is how it’s done. I think you can adjust to very small increments. Like 1mm.

Thanks ^^
