Manthey arm kit for the GT4
Discussion
You now have a similar setup to me albeit with more camber going on at the front. Manthey look to be using over 3 degrees, that's quite a lot for general road use but it'll be good to hear how you get on with it, especially regarding inner tyre wear.
Will they not share any settings with you? Nothing about camber or toe front and rear?

Hopefully you got a deal on the Mathey Kit, that stuff is ££££...
What level of Porsche (Manthey fairy dust) tax are we talking about to enable one to keep ones OE warranty intact here ? My car has a similar setup using all Porsche Motorsport parts and it was a lot less...

Just as I suspected TF. This photo is dated 2006 :
They're the Porsche Motorsport Cup rear toe arms just about to be fitted to my 996 GT2 ...
I thought they were expensive at £150 each (and the black alignment spacers were a complete rip off at 12.50 each or something equally ridiculous)
And from ML's video :
They do look shockingly familiar ...
Good to know the Manthey/Porsche price fixing cabal is alive and thriving

Prices have gone up a bit since you bought them for your 996 but Manthey appear to be asking for quite an MR tax! For reference, my newer style toe links were £271+VAT.
EDIT: found a pic online of my toe links:

The rear toe links I have are different. I don't have a pic but they seem to have been changed for the GT4 Clubsport and they have a 981 part number.

Mine were the 996 Cup toe arms, yours are the later (some say nicer/easier to adjust) 997 Cup items Prices have gone up a bit since you bought them for your 996 but Manthey appear to be asking for quite an MR tax! For reference, my newer style toe links were £271+VAT.

I'd like to see an invoice for those VAG aero aids ...
For those not worried about invalidating their OE warranty, the likes of Tarrett do a pair of top mounts and rear toe links for roughly £750 ...

They’re from VW Golf Mk7.Not for aero… they are require for TuV as wheel arch extensions, to cover the tyre width as that would poke out a bit beyond the original wheel arch, with the new geo and extended track width.
You see a lot of German range topping performance cars come with these type of extension now….. BMW M cars, VW R, Audi RS etc.

Ah yes ze Chermans and zayre T Hugh Fee.Not for aero… they are require for TuV as wheel arch extensions, to cover the tyre width as that would poke out a bit beyond the original wheel arch, with the new geo and extended track width.

My use of the word "aero" was tongue firmly in cheek !!
Either way, I'm sure there's a large chunk of Porsche/Manthey tax on them I'm struggling to see the wheels/tyres poking out from the arch (irrespective of where you're viewing the poke from) just by adding the adjustable toe arms. Do yours now extend out beyond the confines of the arch ?
