It would make sense that the GT3RS coding provides a higher amount of baseline assistance to account for the the 20mm wider front tires vs the GT3.

I believe servotronic refers to the power steering plus option. Doesn't seem to make a difference when paired with my GT3 steering calibration.
I see that may be why it became so light in the low speeds. Going to change that right now. I’m running 265 front and 325 rear so that should be stock RS fitment right?

Would love to hear some thoughts once you get some fast driving in!

What is necessary to run 325 at the rear?

I’m only running coilovers and -2.5 deg on all four.

P.S. Update on the RS steering, it feels very similiar to the GT3 and can’t notice too much of a difference. It must’ve been my faukt for accidentally coding in Power Steering Plus, which made the steering much lighter at lower speeds. I just left it on the RS option during my last coding session. @nhnguy12

the best way to describe my coded GT3RS steering rack in 981 GTS is exactly like in this video at 10.45
GT3 mode requires much more rotation of the steering wheel for the same effect

Thanks for the input! I have a trackday coming this saturday so in that case I’ll just leave EPS on GT3 RS mode.

If you're willing to make the trip to Seattle there is a guy who has helped a couple people out:

Power Steering Plus only activates at low parking lot speeds which is what its for. It does nothing for normal driving
