Greetings from Mumbai, INDIA. I have got a MCS 2W remote canister coilovers for my 2020 718 GT4. My installer has adequate skillset and knowledge with VW group cars tuning etc. This is the first time he is installing a MCS kit. He has some questions. Hope someone can give me the answers. Here they go.
Pls share any pdf or pictures or videos you have on the suspension assembly on the GT4 Cayman
The kit has come with 4 dampers
1. The adjustable spring perch threads on the dampers are less on 1 pair and more on the other pair
I want to know which damper is to be installed on the front and which one to the rear
2. Where do the helper springs go. Do we put them on the top or the bottom
Pls share a pdf or some pictures of the external canisters installed on the car so we can also fix them accordingly

I have MCS on my GT4, but I didn't install them.
There should be instructions that came with the dampers that would help your installer.
AFAIK, The helper springs go on top, and if I had to guess, I would say the longer threaded shocks are for the rear as I believe the rear has a bit more travel than the front, but don't quote me.
If you do not have your instructions, let me know. I might be able to rummage thru my storage unit and find the original box and instructions that mine came with.
You could also shoot Trevor or Wyatt @ MCS an email, they are pretty good about replying.
