How needed is the lift in a 991.1 RS? Cant find any official approach angle stats and all I can see is ground clearance of 94mm online. People I've spoken to said it's nice to have but not a deal breaker. Any first hand experience?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Never mind the RS, I'd quite like to have it on my 991S, but I live in London and there are speed bumps everywhere (especially in Camden - that Borough hates cars!). I think it depends where you are driving it. Half the driveways on my road would catch the nose of the RS for sure
I found the .1RS nowhere near as bad as a 918GT4 or 718GT4 I've owned, mine had the nose lift but hardly used it, definitely worth having but not a deal breaker for me.
No problem getting on and off ferries without lift - you just need to take a bit of extra care sometimes
Great to know! Debating at getting into a .1RS coming from a McLaren and know for most that the lifts on them are basically non negotiable.
I don’t have lift on my .1RS. Not a deal breaker for me.
I have a .1 GT3 and its lower than stock, I virtually ever use it, if I come across a difficult looking angle or slope I go in at an angle and on occasion with super aggressive speed bumps I put a little lock on and off as I go across
