Old article but still might hold truth

For the RECORD, the manual transmission is provided by ZF, not BMW. The Supra is made by Magna Steyr, not BMW. Car is from BMW parts bin, made by Magna Steyr. Transmission is from ZF parts, made for BMW cars, but is highly modified and tuned by Toyota.

Other than the kerb weight, dampers have been revised thus accounting for the height differences. I’d still go with US Spec for the MT.

I asked Eibach. It’s probably the weight and suspension difference between the AT vs the MT Supra. Do you have the MT or AT?

Todd & Paul has ranked the GR Supra MT the No.1 amongst the the three :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

S58 G87 M2 vs Camaro SS 1LE vs GR Supra MT

I’d probably try this setup first without the lower arms. But I do have the US spec Eibach ProKits and Eibach front/rear sway bars. I’ll be running on 18s also. I’m worried about suspension travel on track days but it will only be quite occasional. Thanks again!

Just wondering if you needed any aftermarket front or rear control arms and/or end links (eg. SPL etc) to achieve this setup? Planning to do a very similar setups as yours. Looking good and thanks for sharing the info!

Here are the specs for 18s T66-F Supra spec. It’s staggered. 18x9.5 5x112pcd 25offset hub66.5 8.33kg/wheel front and 18x10.5 5x112pcd 31offset hu 66.5 8.85kg/wheel rear. As for the RS317 Supra spec, it only comes in 19s. 19x9 or 19x9.5 front then 19x10 or 19x10.5 rear. Hope this helps.

Other than Volk Rays (forged), I’d choose BBS Japan (forged) or TWS Motorsport (forged) wheels Not as popular as the other options but this is a proven motorsport wheel, used in Super GT Japan. TWS T-66F and TWS RS317. The lighest wheels available.

Always happy to help! Please let us know how it goes. I’m excited for the GR Supra MT!

The 2023 Manual GR Supra still has the older 335bhp B58 engine in other regions of the world and the 382whp B58 engine is mostly sold in North America & Japan, etc. The front stock strut bars were included when the engine bumped into 382whp. Probably the reason why stock front strut bars were...

If you’re going to use the Eibach USA springs in your GR Supra Manual, advertised drop will be different and modest compared to the Automatic. GR Supra Automatic : 1.7” front & 1.2” rear GR Supra Manual : 0.9” front & 0.8” rear

In Hagerty’s latest video, 2022 GR Supra is a hair quicker than the FL5 @ Streets of Willow Springs

It might depend also on the track but the 2023 GR Supra Manual is 3 seconds quicker than the FL5 in VIR Lightning Lap. It should be, power to weight ratio is better, assuming both quite handle well in the track. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a42387169/lightning-lap-2023/ probably the...

Hi guys. Just want to share this NEW information I got fron Eibach. Apparently, with the 2023 GR Supra Manual, using the same Eibach ProKit springs (E10-82-089-01-22) the advertised drop is NOW 0.9” front and 0.8” rear (compared to the Automatic which lowers the Supra by 1.7” front and 1.2”...

Thank you! I’m running the whole Eibach ProPlus combo (springs and F/R sways) I also got the new released Eibach Pro Alignment (rear camber arm) It’s the only adjustable arm available from Eibach that’s why I’m looking into getting the other SPL parts. A good geo and alignment tune is crucial...

Thanks for these tips. Really appreciate it. Just have a few questions. 1. Did you change also to SPL adjustable end links front and rear? 2. What springs are you using? And I noticed you have different front and rear sway bars? Thanks for your help!

yup I have my own biases that’s for sure. But I’m not an automotive-motor journalist that people look up to reading & expecting there shouldn’t be one. What’s the point reading into their reviews if they are biased to begin with? Get my point?

“Intriguingly, Toyota does not build the Supra; BMW, its partner in the project, does. The new Supra is in fact the hardtop version of the quite pleasant BMWZ4. So aside from body panels, there isn't much Toyota about the car save for tuning” I was reading the article and true enough I can see...
