My keen eye backed up by the Alignment report (outdated software but the measurements weren’t too far off) and my tape measure.

But how can you compare if your car was always lower?

I compared it to Ravenseal’s 3D KDS report from the Port. It has both the Standard specs and the HAS specs.

Gotcha!!! But every car is slightly different. I’m willing to bet they lowered your car 10mm from what it was stock.

It was more than a few CM, 3-4 MM according to the report. I hope you are right of course.

That’s like 1/8 of an inch… but I get you, especially because it doesn’t lower it too much already right. Are you planning on using the adjustability at some point to go even lower?

Ended up doing about 240 miles before I called in a night.
I'd be happy that your car wasn't covered in plastic.

Porsche is having a big issues with putting plastic on the paint and then getting weird "worm-like" lines in the paint from the trapped moisture and gases. Search on Rennlist if you want more info.

I can't believe the car was not lowered 10 mm or more, it looks much lower than the standard suspension. I have been staring at pictures and videos for the past couple of days and every time I come back to this thread your pictures look so much better/lower.

I wish it was only 2~3 mm, I would skip the option and save the $2,800 in a heartbeat.

I hear you, I also drop down when I snap pictures so I believe that’s what you’re seeing.

I picked my camera gear from storage, will get some real photographs later with my Mirrorless.

Check me out. Nice 2 hour drive through Thunderstorms and I got a 299 miles range at fill-up. Usually it’s about 200.

Something odd happened earlier. The car went into limp mode with 9 miles to empty. I filled up and Limp mode remained until I pulled over and restarted the car again.

Also, CarPlay screen has been going intermittently dark, although Maps stays on the Gauge screen and Podcast keeps playing. Sometimes it will come back on its own, other times I have to manually disconnect. Anyone else experienced this?

First two odd things to happen to the car. At 1990 miles. Phenomenal two weeks this far.

Where was your phone when this happened with CarPlay?

I have not received my car yet so no direct knowledge but it has been posted in one of these threads and I believe its in the door jam near the VIN sticker.
