I am considering a 997.1 GT3, and one of my concerns is ground clearance.

My drive has a small ramp where raised from the road up to pavement height, and then slopes downwards, and as such there is small "hump" to negotiate.

My C2S has no issue, and my prospective purchase is too far away to try, so I am asking for some help from owners local to me on stock suspension settings to have a look.

I live in South Northamptonshire near J16 M1, or by the A5.

I will of course put the kettle on and pay for fuel costs.

Thanks

Ashley

Thanks guys, it's that ramp break over that's the issue, which is hard to measure in practice and needs testing.

I can live with the splitter problem on the routes that I drive, and I accept choosing the cup one and treating it as a consumable.

Thanks Pete, I thought it was made of a more flexible/pliable material and as such it would fold on impact so in the end would not be damaged as much.

Thank you for the replies so far and pictures of the different splitters.

Reversing up is a very good idea and feasible, however it is the ramp break over angle I believe that will be my biggest concern.
