718 Spyder / GT4 suspension differences
I thought the suspensions were to be the same for the Spyder and GT4. According to Ian Kuah, in the December issue of excellence, the GT4's suspension is fully adjustable and the Spyder's isn't. Anyone know what the differences are?

I saw that too and I think that Excellence screwed up. Here's why I think that:
"Ball joints on both axles also connect the chassis to the body in a particularly streamlined way, enabling an even more precise wheel control. Height, camber, toe angle and the anti-roll bars of the chassis can be adjusted individually. The new 718 Spyder doesn’t just remain true to the track."
Link to PCNA.
My understanding is that the Spyder front suspension is adjustable, but the rear isn't, although the rear on the Cayman may be adjustable. I've been wrong before.

From a chassis perspective - the 718 GT4 and Spyder are identical. Both can be adjusted in exactly the same way, front and rear.
The rear on both cars still has the fixed/solid rear toe link - so you will need to change this out for an adjustable toe link if you want to run more that stock camber on the front - in order to correspondingly balance out the rear.

As long as it’s the same as the GT4 I’m good with it. I want to remain stock for AX.
