Sebring in the AMG GTS- TIKT Suspension
Hey guys,
A little fun at Sebring with the GTS during a PCA event. On lap 8 I got under 2:29 which was the goal of the weekend.

Nice. Can I ask who your contact was on parts? Did rear sway bars effectively limit roll?

Stating first that I'm not a fast driver!!! The suspension gave me the confidence to knock about 15 sec off my time. My buddy who is actually fast ran 2:18's in it that same day

I didn't replace the sway bars. Just the links front and rear because when you do the coilovers and lower the car and change the rack a little then you use l adjustable sway bar links to line up every thing.

BUT the Bilstein MDS coilover eliminate the body roll and let you take the turn 3 Curb directly at Road atlanta without even thinking about upsetting the chassis.

Awesome.

Is there a US dealer for these parts or direct from Germany? I'd love to read more about it. I tried to google but the TIKT website wont load for me.

Looks like so much fun! I have never raced at Sebring so I don't know the track but all my old SCCA racing habits started expressing themselves. I found myself yelling, "NOW, NOW, NOW," "FOOT TO THE FLOOR!" "THAT'S TOO LATE!" and other tidbits😍.

Nicely done. It is a rough track. Under 2:30 is a solid time. Thanks for sharing.
