can someone explain to me as if I'm a 5 year old, what exactly is a rose joint suspension?
did some googling, but not sure I entirely understand the set up.
cheers

In a regular car, you toss it into a corner and all the rubber bits in the suspension have to load up. Swap those for rose joints and you get less play, more stiffness; you also yet better road feel.
That's the simple explanation.

thanks Argon.
what's the downside? price and longevity I presume?

They also stiffen the ride and the steering. Not something the average commuter wants.

good point. but on the GT2RS pic it seems it is the front axle. and those sensors for light leveling (mandatory within EU and xenon/led) i know just located at the rear axle. but not sure at 911s.

'The wheel carriers and control arms are shared with the GT3 RS. Ride height, camber, caster, toe, and stabilizer bar settings are all adjustable. The big change is in the spring rates. The front springs are 2.6 times stiffer than that of the GT3 RS, and the rear springs are 33 percent stiffer. “It’s more like a race car now,” Preuninger says.

Hopefully they carry over this firmer setup to new 3 RS:

The front springs are 2.6 times stiffer than that of the GT3 RS, and the rear springs are 33 percent stiffer. “It’s more like a race car now,” Preuninger says. “It’s a lot less prone to roll, yaw, and pitch motions on the track, but to compensate when you’re driving it on the street, the stabilizer bars are softer.”'
Interesting anchor point for anti-roll bar. Wonder what the small linkage circled in red is for??
