991.2 GT3 Ride Harsher than 991.1 GT3
Am I the only one who thinks the 991.2 GT3 has a harsher ride than the 991.1? To me the car feels stiffer, and it's slightly more punishing on the bumps.
Were there any changes in the suspension geometry for the 2018 GT3 that might cause it to have a firmer ride than a 2015 GT3?
Curious on others' thoughts.

op you are correct
spring rates were increased in the .2 version... car is definitely firmer
very obvious when .1 and .2 driven back to back

of driving. It certainly felt stiffer to me also. At our Smokies event, we spoke with a PAG representative asking if the Spring rates were changed
between the 2 models. After checking with the factory, PAG confirmed their was no difference in spring rates between the two models.
I concluded that either after 25,000 miles, the -1 was "broken in" and felt softer and/or the shock rates had been changed.
After 3,000 Miles, it still feels significantly stiffer to both of us - but not uncomfortably so. Fear Not!!! Your Sanity is intact.

Are you sure? Do you have the spring rate figures for both cars? I saw them posted here once earlier and the numbers were identical. I know they added helper springs, but never heard the main springs are stiffer.

The .2 is more compliant on the road. Even the wife noticed how much better the ride is. We drove the .1 back from FL and the .2 from GA. The .2 is a much better highway car. Expansion joints in the .1 were hammering. Maybe the pasm controller has better programming in the .2.

further adding to the confusion -- the only data that has been presented on RL says spring rates are actually same and maybe there is only pasm box software differences, which of course can substantially change the response of the car ... with my two .1's and newly arrived .2 there is no doubt the .2 is stiffer stock to stock... one of my .1 is 100% stock, the other has a dsc box as it is a track rat... all are on cup 2's (yes i know the tires were updated too ...n0 vs n1 vs n2)
see aleks doba comment late in the thread... i don't believe the springs/rates are the same
