Suspension upgrades include multi-adjustable coil-over dampers, springs and strut tops and braking is enhanced via upgraded lines and pads. Lighter magnesium wheels are offered in a choice of finishes.

Buyers should note, however, that import duties, shipping and GST are NOT included.
Porsche Centre Doncaster will deliver its first Porsche GT2 RS MR later this week. A Manthey-Racing kit for the Porsche GT3 RS is expected to be available in Australia from early 2020.
Manthey-Racing head of sales, Michael Grassl, was in Australia this week for the announcement of the local MR kits.
“We receive a lot of enquiries for our MR packages and parts from all over the globe and we must ensure that the Manthey-Racing process is replicated when installing our kits. Both Porsche Centres have invested in our tools and technical training to assure that the cars will be set up to our specifications,” Grassl explained.
Grassl stated Porsche’s warranty for the turbocharged, rear-drive 911 GT2 RS is unaffected by fitting the MR kit.
The two Australian operations are the first retailers outside of Germany to be cleared to install the Porsche GT2 RS MR kit.
