Thanks guys for all the input, much appreciate it. Looking at couple of cars, but above my budget. I started out looking at GT3s (since it is primarily for street) but ironically while very few GT3s have front lift, quite a few RS have them - go figure.

If something works out, I will post here. Thanks again.

My car has the lift. Although I would not have ordered it, I have actually used it a couple of times already.

Keep in mind that you can always add the lift to a GT3 after the fact with KW's Hydraulic Lift System. These particular models install on your vehicle's existing coilovers, and allows you to remotely raise either the front of the car or all four corners at once.

If you factor the extra cost into the cost of the vehicle itself, a GT3 that you would enjoy would still be significantly less than a comparable RS that would be less comfortable for street driving.

Good luck finding the right car!

Thanks for that tip. I did search for an aftermarket lift sometime last year and only one that came up was from one of the German tuners (don't remember which one) which was exorbitantly expensive - I think $10k+.
