M4 GTS KWCS settings?
Being that the GTS uses a KWCS 3 way coilover set-up, is there any literature showing the exact specs of the suspension set-up for the track they've used to get those amazing times? (alignment, damper settings, etc.)

Yes, that wil come in a book with car. Stock setting is Nurburgring record lap setting in terms of suspension. That setting is max out on frontlip and rear wing. Nurburgring is a normal road that, hence that suspension setting will be ok for street as well( except frontlip due to diffrent regulations in law i guess. they got flat modern ractrack setting also in book for us to set up. Love it:-)

They are not the same. The GTS coilovers are valved differently, different springs, different top mounts and different springs seats. Pretty much the only thing in common is that they use the same strut body.

This pic shows it pretty well, just look at that solid ball bearing top mount in the rear, and the lower spring seats in the front. |

agreed, although I have to admit, it would be interesting to see someone to take one of the named "GTS Plus" cars created on the forums or from scratch (to try and recreate it w mods), and take it head to head on a track somewhere. Honestly, not a half bad idea for an episode on any of these shows, DRIVETRIBE should pick up the idea!

I would say lower springs to "track" height and leave dampers alone. If you do not have too many clearance issues. The car does not feel quite right in high setting. Anyone else feel this way?

Yup. After we lowered it to "track" setting, it felt more planted and the steering was just that much more fluid.
