Has anyone with a GTR successfully lower the car on stock suspension? I see spring adjustment perches but no spanner wrench provided with the car, wondering if there is a toolset for it.

That's why they call you wolfman...any chance if you know its just your run of the mill adjusting wrench or if its MB specific? Looks like that question was added to the thread.
I can do my RENNtech set in my garage with a standard spring adj wrench - my Ferrari was the same way.

From the looks of it a standard spanner tool will do the job...

I hadn't successfully found that pricing on KW, but yes, I did manage a deal from that RENNtech pricing. I may have been lucky though - I pushed a friend that way and he wrestled them down for the same price but had told him that they were 'in house' inventory.

Do anybody know if lowering is possible one GTR? I was off with my wheels but I couldn't see that adjustment is possible. I forgot of course to take a picture of suspension.

there is actually almost no room to lower on the GTR - the locking protection ring is just about 5mm below the stock setting, so the perch is really just used for preload adjustment.

+1 yep checked on mine the other day. Very little room. I like the height and wheel gap as it is.

yes I have lowered the GTR on the stock coilers. It was not low enough for me so I broke the lock and lowered it more. the difference is significant and the car is much sharper. I track the car seldom and thinking about upgrading to KW V4

I went with the TIKT( Bilstein MDS based) coilovers and they are amazing ! Getting all the associated adjustable sway bar links is also a must.
