We all know size matters and that extra 10mm makes all the difference.

I also have low level on most of the time as the car seems to feel better when lower. Probably a CoG thing but also looks better IMO

Just reading GTK and it says Low Level reduces ride height by 20mm from Normal level. Earlier in this thread it says 10mm, what am I missing?

GTS sits 10mm lower than Base/S models, air allows you to reduce by a further 10mm but you can now within configuration choose standard which is as “other models” so a GTS in lowered mode would be 20mm lower than Base/S in normal mode.

Ok so how does this apply to the Turbo - which i have. I was under the impression the GTS sat or was capable of sitting the lowest of all the models?

Standard Turbo with air has the same ride height as the PASM only version, pressing the Low Ride button lowers the ride height by 10mm. It does give a smoother ride imo, there is less likelihood of body roll or wallowing, my Turbo is kept on low permanently.

The GTS and Turbo PP both share the same suspension which is 10mm lower the rest of the variants. If either of these two variants have air suspension then they can be lowered by a further 10mm.
