    Ricambi can hook you up with the spacers and longer bolts.

    Can't you buy a moton clubsport coilover setup for about that price? If so, not so reasonable unless your trying to keep your car stock looking. My 2cents

    Hi Craig,

    2-Way Pro Moton is $4,950 which is cost for the dampers and some hardware, no springs (about $750 with tenders and spacers or about $400 or less with a soft enough rate to not require tender springs), no monoball upper mounts ($1,000). So apples to apples the Motons are $6,800. This is a remote reservoir system, so the canisters need fitment which is additional time.
    Ferrari: 355 Moton Suspension System 2-Way Pro M 508 090

    We can build a custom 2-way adjustable system without remote reservoirs but not from Moton, we can do it with Bilstein MDS and TracTive; both of these solutions are more expensive vs our Sport conversion.

    I try to be cognizant of other offerings so owners have choices at different price points. The Sport conversion at $3,200 all inclusive is a reflection of that.

    We can also do a system that's a revalve and springs that are sportier than stock but soft enough to not require tender hardware, using the OE upper mounts, we can build that conversion for $2,000 but takes extra time as we use custom wound springs so there's lead time for the springs. If this conversion was popular enough we'd inventory the springs.

    Best,
    Rob

    ps, Moton dropped the "club sport" designation last year as another mfg held copyright, so it's "2-Way Pro" and 3-Way Pro" designations.

    Interesting question...
    I am not interested in Moton's for the keeping it stock reason as you suspected and also the required yearly maintenance that Moton's need if they are to continue to function well.

    Shock maintenance schedule is a function of use and not necessarily design. Moton on a primarily street driven car can go years without requiring a thing.

    What degrades performance is temperature, motorsport operates the dampers at elevated temperature vs street driving.

    Ah, okay that explains it I run my car (Ferrari and Porsche) at Driver Education events and the other guys that have Moton's on them are changing the fluid on them at the end of each season. Good to know for mostly street use this would not be needed. I'm still not interested in the Moton's though.

    Thanks for the info, I have not been looking at coilovers for sometime. I did not know the clubsport were done away with. Anyway 6g's for the motons , now I can make sense to the 3g's for your set up, sounds fair, Not that the motons are not worth it, but for street drive money better sent else where.

    Rob do you stock these and do an exchange type deal or should I make sure and check your turn-around time when I am ready for this upgrade?
