The KW dampers/spring is a given( 3 or 4 way).....probably rear toe links also. But you never know if they may suggest something else and the final alignment.
About the dampers from MR, the good thing is that they provide the brackets and enough reservoir line to install them on the car in a nice way.
Also some suggestions on how to setup rebound/compression which can save a lot of frustration and trial& error.

These videos are not helping with the waiting.....
Very smooth driving while keeping it under 10/10ths...finally a mere mortal that keeps TC and ESC On.
The owner confirmed what other say about the MR suspension setup and the confidence it provides over PASM.

I wonder if the MR suspension makes the car more streetable....

jmartpr

You could dial down the compression and rebound but we would also need to see the spring rates and how those compare to stock.....

Well hopefully someone who does this can comment on it this soon.

Very nice smooth driving. Quick but safe and just blew by everybody else on the track.

This video is in French, but some interesting driving scenes and the subtitles can be set to English on a computer by going to YouTube Settings and choosing Auto Translate and selecting English (haven't figured it out on iPhone though).

Thank you for sharing Grant, good watch.

More Manthey testing...



When he brakes hard you can see the back end dancing a bit so...looks like first mod will be Toe Links and a good alignment.

Does MR use different springs and dampers (KWs)? or just dampers? do you know?

jmartpr

On the GT4, springs and dampers....we still don't know what they will do on the GT4RS but for sure dampers.

Mr. Adair

I have had a full 3 way adjustable passive set up with adj remotes on my 7.2 RS from JRZ. What I can tell you is that it probably made the car 30% more comfortable on the street dampening wise. Those car were bone crushers with old tech. New PASM and electronics are worlds better. That said, the amount of messing around with creaks and groans and locating of things was in the end not worth the trouble. I had it done at Olsen Motorsports and they did a great job. I'm guessing knowing Manthey they will have a better turnkey set up.

Mr. Adair

I can confirm toe links made a huge difference on my 7.2. Much less hopping under load and certainly better traction out of corners..

blackmist27

Thats an interesting point. about the fact that once you go aftermarket, there is a cost to pay. it just wont ever be the same. creaks and groans are my OCD kryptonite.

I dont know what he is saying... but this **** can drive:
