Default m474 (suspension? - rv)

Im a new 951 owner. I have owned it for 2 weeks and and have questions and issues.

First question, what is the m474 suspension? how is it different from the others and why wont the KYB shocks fit ( i know they are japanese ) but sachs, koni and bilstein all fit.

Second isssue has any one changed a rear main seal before. Does it really take 20 hrs. Is it as tough as it looks ( i will do the clutch at the same time)

Third has a bad rear seal ever trashed a crank ??? So i dont do the job to find i wasted time and money.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

m474 suspension is koni however they are sport not adjustable. Still pretty nice though! You can get new inserts at paragon-products.com

Also when you do a clutch you should do a RMS as a "while you were in there" type thing. Not too difficult, especially if you're doing a clutch.

M474 Koni's are adjustable! You have to take them off the car, remove the springs, and compress them to adjust them.
