Configuring a GTS order, after c 50k miles in an Saphire S Diesel with PASM.
Looking for experience based advice from drivers of similar ‘style’ - hence the history:
SD came on 20’s, and I later bought 21” Black Sport Classics.
Love the ‘meaner’ look & extra grip when pushing hard, although they are a little bit harsher on road, re-confirmed when I refit the 20s with Winter tyres.
Despite the extra harshness, I will keep the 21’s on the new GTS ( with 20’s in Winter) as I continue to accept the compromise for the performance & looks.
When driving alone, on PASM my default is c70% sport mode & 30% sport plus.
GTS won’t be a track car.
I like PASM, but thinking of speccing air, & found a brief test drive in a GTS with air inconclusive. Am going to book an extended drive.
Advice please....
GTS on 21” wheels: Air yes or no ?

Stick to standard springs. Air is a bit floaty for enthusiastic driving. Mine is set permanently on 'sport' damping but still occasionally feels like it rises and falls more than I'd like on undulating roads.

I don’t think Air is necessary, especially on a GTS; it’s an expensive option just to reduce the ride height by 5cm

It does firm up considerably between sport and sport +, Nick. That said I never run mine in comfort because it is definitely too softNuclear Nick wrote:Stick to standard springs.

Ran my GTS for eighteen months on 21" and never found it harsh even on some very poorly kept roads round here. Yes a bit well controlled with good road feel, but surely that's what you buy a GTS for.

Not on a GTS, better to add Torque Vectoring for just over £1k.
