Default Manthey/KW -Clubsport fitted to GT3 RS

As mentioned in an earlier topic, I was looking for quality suspension options for my GT3 RS. I sticked with my initial choice and went for KW/Manthey Clubsport suspension.

The damping is brilliant now, so controlled yet pliant enough for the car to be really suitable on road as well.

The alignment and cornerweighting was done by Prospeed Competition.

Enjoy the pictures:

Picking the car up, Ring Police, the guys who did the build really made it look like new when I picked it up. Stunning work.

Getting the alignment/cornerweighting sorted according to my driving preferences. Work done by Prospeed Competition, such craftsmanship.

Looks awesome, more compliant for road driving is a great thing - roads around here are horrible.

I just searched Manthey up, are these different from regular KW clubsports? If so, do you know any links to more information that are in English?

Thanks!

I'm not saying they're more compliant than PASM in normal mode. At least not in my setting. The dampers (bound/rebound) are running on Nordschleife spec, so reasonably compliant given the bumpy nature of the track.

I assume they can be set softer still if needed.

They are different than KW Clubsports, Manthey orders them to their spec, so different springrates and dampers. They're also Manthey-branded as you can see.

On their website you can see their price and parts list for 997, it's also available in English.
