How much experience do you have setting up adjustable suspensions? Will you be tracking the car or is it street only? If you are experienced in suspension setup and you will be tracking the car, Moton Clubsports with your choice of spring rates would be very nice. If you think you would be better off with less adjustability, or if the car is only driven on the street, I think you would be happier with Ohlins Sportlines or fixed perch, or KW V3's.

I have a one off custom Penske shock package built for my car. If money is no object.... these are it. It takes a few months to have them built, and it could take a few revalve / spring rate chanes to get it right.. but if you want the best, you cant just buy an "out of box" set.

I know these aren't the ultimate set-up but I really like the Tanabe Sustec Sevens w/TEAS controller, electronically adjusts according to speed with tons of presets, definitley trick stuff. Can be had for around 2 grizzly's

Moton Motorsports and street use don't exactly go hand in hand The Clubsports are about as far as I would go on a street driven car, and even that I would only do if you are familiar with how to set up double adjustable suspensions with external nitrogen-charged reservoirs.

As do we.

We acutally had the first set of Motons for EVO in the country and helped get their EVO/STi applications over here.....

We have a set in now for a customer....they are truly a work of art. Everything comes together so perfectly, it's just amazing. I'll post pictures when I'm back in the office.

tien s-tech springs! they will set u back about $125....




J/K!!!
moton is the way to go... if you have cash to spend the motons will put you way above the average set up... I'm sure there are better and more expensive set ups, but will you really need them?

good luck with whatever you go with!! make sure you post pics and a review!
