Default Manthey Upgrade Kit OEM Suspension - GT2 RS

Hi,
Anybody tried already the OEM Suspension upgrade kits from Manthey?

I'm looking to install one on my GT2 RS but I don't even have the OEM alingnment range specs to compare to the MR ones.

Manthey part number is MTH343222

great!

If you have what parts where included and what's the recommended height and camber setup would be great.

shims front and rear - from Cup cars I supose
some "secret sauce" top-mounts upgrade
allignment, rake adjustments using 4 corner weight scales, simulating your weight etc

settings are based on personal preference, I did mine for the Nring, for GP tracks, it should be a bit lower

the car feels good, very good, but maybe not exceptional, like the full MR.. I would do it again if this means something to you

Thanks!

I'll basically order the parts and have them installed at my local Porsche Dealer. I'll just order the kit and figure it from there, thanks

How big of a difference are they over the standard suspension that came with the car? What are you noticing the most? Any changes to daily driving comforts (harsher/softer rides)?

Thanks in advance

The Manthey KW 3-4ways fixed dampers transform both GT2 and GT3 RS on track. The GT2 RS also benefits a lot from the Manthey full aero pack, more so than the GT3 RS..

It makes some difference vs oem and 100% stock allignment. Wider track and sporty allignment definetely helps a lot

What are you noticing the most?
The rake, they are running the car even higher than it used to be, I have Nurburgring setup but still...

Also bellow 7:40btg, the front tires will touch a bit the body, there are some marks on the tires as well. Never happened before on any other track or above 7:40..

Any changes to daily driving comforts (harsher/softer rides)?
No, exactly the same comfort, maybe even a bit more clearance to the ground?! I bought my car slightly used, so I dont know if factoy height is what I used to have or not, but the setup is very compliant on all surfaces.


Thanks in advance
Please see above

I just received my upgrade kit from MR, I hope I'll have it installed this week.





Does any one have the OEM alignment and height recommended settings? to compare to the MR ones.

Did you get any explanation about the improvement of those top mounts spacers and what the black rount parts are for ?

Yes,

Manthey has been very helpful recommending a setup according to my specific needs. They also include a detailed installation description.

They say you can have camber up to 3.0 front and 2.8 rear with this kit.

This is what I am running now -3F and -2.8R, and I feel, from a street vs racing allignment point of view, that they could go much more and still not eating tires.

They recommend toe 1mm per side on front and 2mm per side rear, stock is basically 0. I'm pretty sure with that it will start eating tires.
