Front Axle Lift Review
I consider FAL a very desirable luxury but not a necessity. I had it checked off on my 911 build but couldn’t bring myself to check it off on my GT build.
After playing around with it, I’ve found that in my normal routine driving, which goes over many speed bumps, steep curves and dips, I actually don’t need to use it while in comfort mode. In fact, I tried three different modes going over the same obstacles: FAL, slow at an angle and slow almost straight and in all three instances I cleared everything just fine. There is only one dip that I feel it is semi necessary. It’s a large curb that even my S Class would almost scrape. However, there are alternative ways out that are slightly longer.
I’m still very happy I have it but I honestly will hardly ever use it unless it’s a new, unknown obstacle. It does go up in a few seconds and the GPS feature is really nice.
