I have it and the GTS steering flash is honestly one of the best mods I have done to the car. To me comfort mode without the flash had a bad on center feel as there was a big dead zone. Sport removed that dead zone, but has a very over assisted mid corner feel. Sport plus was just awful. With the gts flash, the dead zone is gone in comfort mode and the over assisted feel is gone from sport mode

Hope that helps

You did it yourself? Is there a DiY? Or got it done?

You change chassis, if necessary, and Type code in FA and then VO code required modules. 2015 is fine, though improvement will depend on I-Step.

Is there more specific instruction for which module and its parameters to change? I've managed to find the below reference to choosing F87CS.

Never looked into specific changes. I just let VO coding do the work. You can use TM NCD / CAFD tool if you wish to explore further.

Hey OP great topic. Could I maybe suggest you add CS to the title as well? We’d love to hear from people who got the gts or CS one in comparison to zcp.

I believe the gts suspension is Manually adjustable and the CS actually has different springs so would it be wise to code GTS ESP? What about the diff is there any physical difference?

This might be another thread but maybe leave here I’m not sure ...
