I got the Manthey Kw's on my .1 RS earlier this year to go along with my rose jointed suspension and the improvements were remarkable! Not cheap but absolutely worth every penny. The grip, responsiveness, and feel on the track are completely transformative. Not to mention the huge chunk it took out of my lap times!

Makes a big difference to the 991.1 GT3 RS, more or less brings the .1 upto the .2. I had a good look at the MR package for the .2 and felt it wasn't worth it for the very small lift in performance over the stock 991.2 GT3 RS. Basically drop the front by 0.5-1cm and add a more aggressive alignment and there won't be a significant performance difference between a .2 MR and .2 3RS.
In a nutshell does the MR package settle the suspension down?

Not sure about the MR package but I can comment on the MCS setup from Dundon. They really settle the suspension down a lot even with stiffer springs in the front and the rear of the car. I am running 130NM and 180NM spring rates on my car. On the street it is so much better than stock about absorbing bumps in the road. Good example is cursing on the interstate going over expansion joints with bridges and stuff the suspension no longer jars you around but soaks up the bump more like BMW M3 would. If you have ever driven a McLaren 12C, 650S or 720 I would say the MCS shocks ride better on the street than these cars in their softest suspension setting but they remain really sporty feeling in the mountains.

The changes you are writing about. Are changes on 991.1 RS or 991.2 RS?

Both but the 991.2 will benefit the best for ride comfort because of the stiffer factory spring rates. The 991.1 will benefit from them as well, not as much on the ride comfort as it is setup soft from Porsche but it will greatly help the handling of the car. When I had my 991.1 I was going to upgrade the car to the MCS setup but then was offered the 991.2 and traded my 991.1 in.
