Congrats! Every time I see a new GTS I have just a wee bit of jealousy.
Odd on the wheel gaps. Here's a pic of our 4S which I believe has the same spring option (10mm lower) as the GTS. The more I look at the pics, the more I think it's in the angle and lighting.
picking up tomorrow
some pics from my SA
question - the wheel gap on the back looks a little fat for SPASM?
optical illusion?
will the suspension settle down once driven?
Congrats on your car! Looks gorgeous! Love that color.
A few side photos of my 2018 GTS w/ SPASM for comparison:
The leather seat backs with deviated stitching is a really nice detail.
+1! I added this to my build at the very last minute, mine has red deviated stitching, and I really love the way they look. Very elegant. Much more so than the plastic backs. Good choice! Coupled with the Steering Column Casing in leather it's a great upgrade.
Love your color choice Hurricane
Can you or someone in the thread measure for me the distance from the top of the wheel to the bottom of the fender on a GTS?
Not from the top of the tire (too much variation)
or does anyone have this data at their fingertips?

Unfortunately, I am not near my car so I cannot measure it for you at this time...
What are your impressions from the photos? If you look at your car from different angles the height above the wheels might appear different in different photos.

His car looks great, too, right down to the lit door sills!

The most useless option (second only to the aluminum-look gas cap I had on the old car than no one ever saw but me!) and such a waste of money...but it makes me smile every time I open the door...

Now I can upload the pictures I was referring to :
Thank you all for the comments and advice and the wheel gap photos
will post more pics tomorrow
taking delivery one day later than expected (client issue at work)
i am sure all is well with the suspension, but I will check for the suspension blocks just in case
Make sure you actually got SPASM and not regular PASM.
This was what I was thinking. Check the spec sheet...on a GTS, you do not want any boxes checked on the suspension configuration...otherwise you end up with PASM instead of SPASM. SPASM is standard, PASM (which raises the ride height) is a no-cost option.
Not sure if you custom built this car...if not, I'd definitely look into this. I've heard stories that some dealers check the PASM box during configuration not realizing the implication...they think they are selecting the Sport PASM but in fact they are optioning it out.
