Moton or JRZ?

Any one with an opinion on or experience with JRZ or Moton suspension systems?

I think you will find that you get a very similar product from both companies as the founders of each used to work together. I would look at who will provide you better service (setup, valving, rebuild/revalve).

Theyre both very good (and quite simmilar) designs.

Thanks!

The only other question then would be is there any comparison to JRZ or Moton to Ohlins, Cusco, KW or Bilstein?

Yes. The Motons and JRZ will be substantially more expensive

As far as other comparisons, it really depends on your level of suspension needs. For street use, Motons JRZ and similar are overkill in most cases. Even for track days, you can get a very good setup for less than you'll spend on these systems, as long as it's well set up and tuned by a person who knows what they are doing.

If you have the capabilities to out drive the middle level suspensions (KW Club Sports, Ohlins clubs, etc.) then you should look higher, otherwise, you're wasting your money buying capability that you'll never use.

Call Robert Fuller (Robispec) and tell him what you're planning to do, your experience and capabilities. Ask him what he recommends.

The MOtons have externally adjustable nitogen filled canisters which offer (according to Moton sales) a ton of advantages. I personally have not used them so I can't offer any of those as 1st hand knowledge.

Thanks for all the input. There is alot to consider when dealing with suspensions. It makes engine mods seem comparatively more simple.

I have Moton's w/ JIC springs Robispec tuned, and am very satisfied with the street use, but have yet to do first track day.
