The MK2 GT3 Lift System Great info and pics from Mjones on Rennlist
The system weight of all components of the Front Axle Lift System is approximately 13 lbs (6 kg).
The lifting operation is completed in approximately 2- 3 seconds.
Electro pneumatic function module with pneumatic compressor, pressure reservoir and
valve block unit
PASM dampers on the front axle with additional compressed air connection underneath
The upper and lower end position of the system is recorded by means of the pressure in the dampers.
The pneumatic compressor generates pressure of up to 247 PSI (17 bar) if necessary. The pressure
reservoir has a filling volume of approximately 2.0 l and supplies the pressure for system operation after use of the compressor.
The system does not use an "airbag" like the Cargraphic Airlift System and has no accumulator and takes a bit more time to raise the car

So the question is this , if the lift system is 3k + and a new spoiler is $200 or less, what's the best way to go...
I'd say either do aftermarket or just plan on a few extra lips in the garage

That's 6 spoilers and change.
I put almost 40K miles on the GT2, and only needed 2 spoilers.
Granted if I was more anal probably would have been more like 5.
30mm is just not a lot of lift.
If it was say, 60mm, then they got something there.

But, 30mm hardly seems like it will help you avoid destroying the lower lip?
