997 Safari builds for mixed tarmac/gravel touring (NOT extreme off-road) follow a documented pattern: ~2.5" suspension lift + ~1" additional tire diameter (total 3-3.5" lift); Elephant Racing components in a square setup (despite Elephant's staggered recommendation on C4 cars to prevent bucking — practitioners report no bucking in real driving); PASM module completely removed; PSM reprogrammed via Deutsche Rennsport to 'minimum intervention mode' permanent setting (full off isn't possible without breaking other electronics); Pepita wool seats for thermal comfort across seasons. Three-to-four suspension tuning iterations are typical.
