Suspension becoming more compliant
I have a GT, but with the optional AMG Ride Control Suspension. Idk if that is the same as the gts suspension or not.
When I first got the car even comfort was... not comfortable on bad roads. The car was very stiff and very bouncy. Now at 3,000 miles I'm noticing that it's far more compliant. This was a pleasant surprise.
It is not a tire pressure thing either. I monitor tire pressure like a hawk. I pretty much drive with the tire pressure screen on.
Is my suspension breaking in and getting more compliant?

I have the same setup and find myself going for Sport suspension mode a little more often, so it maybe the case.

All the bushings and such in the car will relax as they wear in, it's a fairly light car with very stiff suspension so the change must be more obvious. Or you're getting used to the rougher ride and it's not bothering you as much as it used to.
