New Moton dampers
Bimmerworld just put up a listing for a new Moton kit. It is not yet available.
Looks cool. Single adjustable, but same internals/pistons as their motorsport dampers. Not sure if the price includes springs.... http://store.bimmerworld.com/shared/...t=products.asp |

This link will work for you - http://store.bimmerworld.com/Product1333
Price is dampers and hardware only. You can add springs, rear mounts, and rear spring adjusters for about $475. Camber plates not required but are $259 extra. We will have a kit listed shortly to make this easier for customers - just haven't had time to make the listing yet. |

Does this kit have the same design as the M3 kit which is suffering issues?

No. The MSS2 for the E9X M3 is a double, twin-tube damper - the oddity in Moton's line. It will be corrected shortly and will be an awesome piece, but not the same as these.
The singles are a MSS1 and while they are a Street Sport line damper, that basically describes cost level more than anything. This is the same monotube single that the Motorsport uses, just without the remote reservoir that Motorsport doubles and triples ($6-8k) use for the additional compression adjustments. |

James-
Will Moton be able to custom build the rear shocks so they can be mounted to fit on the M3 camber arm. I haven't done any testing but the 135/335 lower rear shock mounts look really flimsy... thanks, justin |

Sorry - late on this. No real plans to make them work with the M3 mount at this point. It would require a different shaft (shorter) to them use the eye mount. The whole reason we are able to make these at this price is volume, which a different shaft would not allow.

We are pretty crafty. When it is time to buy, let me know and I feel pretty sure we can make something.

I'm ready to buy now. Here's my shopping list:
Moton street sport dampers Rear strut adapted to fit the E92 lower camber arm (IE horizontal pin solid mount, as opposed to the vertical rubber bushing on the 135i/335i) 450/800 spring rates, preferably Swift springs Potentially Moton camber plates if they will not be noisy. |

I based my selection on Orb and Harold's research. See this post: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...2&postcount=34
Was also considering 400 up front, but I think that would be the softest I'd want to go. |

Dampers are sitting here, but the email and order isn't yet
I can put an M3 on the lift tomorrow while we are doing some other work on it and likely draw up the part and make it fairly quickly. |

Running 430/600 on my car and the ride quality is good on the street. It'll be interesting to see how 800 in the rear works out for folks....

I'm running 400/800 on my car and love it!! Can't wait to hear impressions from some of you guys trying these motons.

I'm intrigued by the fact that you now say 350/800 or 450/800 might be reasonable. Wouldn't you think that the balance should remain relatively constant, with both front and rear spring rates adjusted accordingly? Not just the front... |

Update - it looks liek we will be able to modify the damper to accept the M3-style mounting. Now who wants to be a guinea pig?
