First Properly Lowered GT S

Just finished up with lowering our new shop GT S with the new KW Coiler sleeves and if I do say myself it turned out fantastic!

This is the first Coilover Sleeve system or lowering system for the Mercedes Benz GT S in North America.

I have to give a shout out to Little John at S&S as he really took his time getting everything done right the first time...You Are the man John!!!

Here are some photos and feel free to ask if you have any comments or questions on the KW Coilover Sleeve system

Absolutely Vic, The ride is very smooth in all modes. To be expected firm or stiff in the race or Sport + setting, comfort is exactly that as well, comfortable. Only driven a few mile but my report, A+

If your looking to set your's up like mine feel free to text me and I can give you the exact setting for your installer. If anyone else is planning on lowering their GT S feel free to contact me as I would be more than happy to help as I was there for most of the install and know exactly what settings were used.

It's the KW HAS system. Lots of places sell it including forum vendor Autotalent.

Dynamically the 992 is of course a great car, but damn there are a lot of great cars out there for the $140K it now takes to buy a decently optioned C2S.

Agree Dave. Its kinda of an interesting sweet spot for cars. Porsche is probably the one brand that has kept me the happiest over the past 15 years or so. AMG is right there along with M but my buys in this segment have been different than that of Porsche for the most part sans the GTS and the C63 BS.

I've been thinking that if Vic can't afford the new car of his dreams right now, we all could chip in a get it for him. I'm in. Anyone else? We owe him a lot.😇
