I also have a 997.1S which I have had for 4 years and loved. However it will be up for sale when I finally get it back from Hartech... Whilst it was there I fell in love with a bright yellow GTS and bought it...Only had it for just over a month but love it 8)

jonttt said:The wheel spacers will be interesting. I must admit I've never thought the 981 GTS needed them with 20 inch wheel. I used to be well into my alloys running many split rim, big dish, large offset wheels.
As I've never felt they where needed I never really looked into the option but simply from washing the car and wheels I'd be worried about 12mm offset being added to the front for clearance on full lock ?
I assume you'll be fitting longer thread for those to fit as well ?
Is this a proven fit or are you just trying them to see if they will fit ?

Car feels great on the road but I took the GTS on track at Donnington a few weeks ago, (just for a quick afternoon session). Compared to my 997 it just seemed to roll more than I'd like. However my 997 does have Eibach springs, H&R rollbars, DSC Sport PASM and GT3 lower arms. (The DSC PASM made the biggest difference on track.)
Pretty sure the X73 rollbars, which are solid rather than hollow and about 25-30% stiffer than the standard PASM bars, will be all I need. I may look to later add a DSC PASM module to the GTS as it really keeps the car flat on track in cornering and braking.
Front and rear X73 bars plus new bushes were £360inc vat from Porsche Silverstone.
Sorry for original thread hyjack (I'll post a 'my new to me GTS thread soon instead' :wink: )

Other piece of advice that I have had is that the leather seats in the S are a better choice than the alcantara in the GTS in terms of wear - some GTS's get the de-specced option of leather but quite rare

Unfortunately the site won't let me load a picture of it.. But suffice to say it's a stunning Yellow
