Suspension is not very compliant, but dampening is great!

Ride compliance as in comfort/insulation from road imperfections as compared to a stock M3 w/ EDC or just about any other car? Nah.

Seriously high quality damping? Yes.

Related note: Don't think track damper settings make for a less comfortable ride. Could be my imagination, but seems like the softer high speed compression settings at the rear have had an overall positive influence on ride. I see no need to go back to street settings for road use.

But after my track visit I do intend to experiment with the dampers, see how compliant I can get them.

In stock settings I haven't found it to be a horrible GT car, actually. Not "comfortable," but also not punishing.

I have tired different damping settings and found High speed set softer was a huge improvement(our tracks are a bit choppy compared to say, The Ring) and also speeding up my rebound helped huge as well. It is surprising how just a few clicks changes the GTS.

I drive mine to work every day. No issues. Actually comfortable on the highway.
And that sound...
Prices are down now... but wait until they are all gone...
