Moton Clubsport 2 Way-Need Input please

[selm3]

Good evening,

I am looking into a good used set of Moton Clubsport 2 ways. They seem like a great setup from a very reputable brand. I was hoping to hear anyone's experience with them if they are running them? The car will be mainly a weekend warrior with about 7-10 track days. It will be street driven for fun trips to the grocery store or the weekend car show with my son. Thanks for input!

I run them on my track car. It sees no street miles at all so I cannot comment on the street manors. I am running 800lb front springs and 450lb rear (coil over) and the car is stiff. If I were going to use these for dual purpose I would certainly go with lighter spring rates. As for the dampers themselves they are top notch with amazing quality. This suspension is far more capable than I am as a driver and handles anything and everything I can throw at it. Rebuilds are not cheap ($400/shock last I checked) but I have not had to cross that bridge yet. All in all I'm quite happy with them and would recommend them to anyone who asks.

great thank you! Is your setup the true rear coil over?

[Sergmann]

Yes. I run 2-way remote's with a true coil over rear setup.

I would not run Motons in a street car lmao

If you want really good mannered suspension but are okay to spend, get the Ohlins kit.

I agree with this. Don't lose sight that your car is (literally) a 98% street car. Consider it's 98 percentile usage.

This car is a little different when it comes to a “street car” it’s currently undergoing a Ls swap with a centrifugal supercharger. Like I said it’s mainly to enjoy a Sunday cars and coffee and the track days I mentioned above. I don’t expect the car to ride smooth. It will have fixed back seats and a rtd shifter. Sorry I should have been more clear. I would consider this more of a fun car. And we are talking the 2 way motons not the full on track setup with the true rear coil setup. From what they describe could be well mannered for both based on motons description. I just was hoping to get real world experience of anyone who has ran them on there personal vehicle.

What are the spring rates? That'll make the biggest difference. You could always run the dampers comp/reb on full soft.

Is the price really good since they're used? There are some very nice setups that would suit you well for around $2500 (Oh r&t, pss10/KWv3 with linear springs, TCKDA)

I’m trying to pin down the spring rates as we speak. I’d say there a really good deal they were recently refreshed, come with camber plates and Rsm’s for about the same price as the sets you mentioned if not less.

[Tbonem3]

Then go for it. Motons are quality, and you can run them on soft with something like 400lb/600lb springs.

Appreciate your input. Thank you!

Spring rates would really be the determining factor here since you’re not going for a true rear coilover setup.

Similar to you I do ~10 events per year and weekend fun rides, I don’t daily the car. I’m running JRZ 2-way non-remotes with 650/750 spring rates and have to admit it’s stiff when i drive it on the street...gf is not happy. If you go with lower spring rates though, in the 400-500 range or flat ride I would imagine street compliance would greatly improve. I might be trying out flat ride in the future.

When I did the price comparison about a year ago, if you go with Ohlins R&T assuming you switch to linear springs and add camber plates you end up being pretty close to the JRZ, MCS etc price range

[Tbonem3]

Ohlins even has a track setup with linear springs, and yes, you end up at about 3500 anyway.

My plan is to put Ground control hardware/eibachs onto MCS 1WNR which will be about $3200. Could do the same with Ohlins R&T and arrive at about that same price. I also contemplated converting pss10 or kwv3 to linear springs, but you're close too close to Ohlins and even MCS/JRZ singles imo.

This matches my math. I'd love to run Ohlins but I'm skeptical of the 400/630 spring rates out of the box.

[Nick_P]

Yup, you’re right. The Ohlins dedicated track version was not available 1-1.5 yrs ago when I made the purchase but still you end up paying $3,500-$3,700 for them. At that point you’re competing with JRZ, MCS and you’re better off going with one of those if one wants to track the car.
