Have a 992 coming shortly and slightly concerned about my driveway. It has a small dip in it where it joins the road and then ramps up a little which means the nose potentially dips as it goes over the raised section.

Can anyone tell me what the height of the front is (standard suspension, no Sports Design kit) as I can’t find any proper dimensions anywhere?

I'll measure it exactly tonight ....and post if someone has not done meantime.
To be honest, I have similar and it is way no problem, the car has good clearance

The GT3's were 100 to 110mm.

I would guess 120mm +

The maximum legal height of a sleeping thingy is 100mm ..

But overhangs and bumps can be an issue to most cars.

Standard bumper but with -10mm suspension option:

Lowest point of front bumper is 14cm from the ground. There’s also a plastic aero bit immediately in front of the front wheel which is 9cm from the ground.

I live in area plagued with nonsense ramps and so called speed restrict humps ( the ones that 40 tonne trucks buses and "Lucinda" in her range rover sport can pass at max speed and only slow small cars ) ....my 992 is a breeze, passes all without any scares and have never tagged anything the council throw at me .

I have been surprised how much clearance there is - and that's with the 10mm sport suspension.

Speed bumps that have caught a 981 Cayman S are fine. I specced the nose lift, but suspect I could have saved the money....

Thanks to all for the info. At 170mm I think it will be ok.
