Suspension differences bet CTT & CGTS

Like the title says, are there differences between the turbo and GTS suspensions?

Obviously comparing the same model year? New model is different than old model. But the older gts v the older twin turbo is no different. The gts is just lowered 10 mm on each height setting, that's all.

I don't have specs to share off hand BUT it appeared to me that the NEW CTT sits lower than the GTS and they were both in the lower setting

You're comparing the gts and ctt of the same year right? So either 2008, 2009, or 2010. If so yhe gts and the ctt are same suspension. There is however a 10mm lower height setting on the gts.
Comparing the old gts to a new 2011 ctt, I have no idea.

Same year guys. I'm having trouble deciding between a slightly used GTS and Slightly used Turbo. I assume that I'd be looking at an '09 Turbo and a '10 GTS based on price w/ simliar miles. Having trouble deciding which would be a better daily driver. I want something powerful and fun and something where i wont regret getting an auto....this will be my first auto in a while...gotta get something the fiance can drive.

If it was me, if I ha a do over, I'd go for the turbo with the sports package and all options. The power of my gts just isn't enough for what I wanted, that's why I'm trading out.

I agree...the GTS was great, but underpowered for its weight...the Turbo solves that problem. A different experience, to say the least.

Essentially no difference, except you may need to hack the CTT to get it to drive in the lowest ride height. There are 3 ways to do this:

1. attach the compressor hose while the car is off and in "loading level" (cheesy, but it works )
2. Pay about $100 to have dealer re-program the ride height to 25mm lower (of course you will lose 25mm in the highest setting, but frankly I've never used it).
3. Buy a lowering module for about $2 grand.
