Being a GTS doesn't make it any faster/handle better
Would be better with TRD coilovers!!

Plus.. it looks so much better

Yeah agreed - I think they were just trying to keep the costs down by $5,000 by not going to the top model.

If I had the money, I would've ordered the TRD86 and paid them $5,000 more to base it off the GT86 (GTS86 in AUS).
