Xico,s new moton clubsport suspension

the following pictures show the progress of the first 3 days of the suspension installation in my car . The whole rear suspension was replaced with a full GT3RS suspension. The coilovers from H&R were replaced with a full moton clubsport package . Day 4 is tomorrow saturday which is for alingment and corner weight balance. I can't wait to drive my car at the Tail of the Dragon, Roger from Orbit Racing who did all the work (thank you Roger)says this car will ride like it is on rails.

Xico,
I have some questions....
  1. What spring rates are you using in the front and in the back?
  2. Where will the remote reservoirs be mounted in the front and the rear?
  3. What ride height will you set the car up to? Please reference the ride height measurement points under the car with your answer.
  4. Is the system 2 way or 4 way adjustable?
  5. Would I be correct in assuming you are running the GT3RS sway bars as well?
  6. How are you handling the front axle shaft interference with the sway bar drop links when at full steering lock?
  7. Are you replacing any front suspension parts similar to the rear GT3RS parts?

Please post as many pictures as possible!

Oh, and congratulations on your UPGRADE!!!! I want a full report after you drive it.

One more thing.
Can you take a picture looking straight up at the rear of the car?

HKE,
I understand the Motons can be adjustable for high and low frequency compression damping and high and low speed rebound damping. That would be 4 way. I am not referring to how many notches are on the ****(s).
Feel free to correct me if I have stated this incorrectly or made any wrong assumptions.

Ken,

I have been up to Orbit Racing with XICO everyday this week. Roger mentioned that this was a (2) way adjustable. The canisters for the front are in the trunk area, the rear are in the back of the passenger. The ***** for the rear suspension are under the car (which is the pic directly over this post)

I am going to Orbit in the morning (AGAIN) to pick up the car with Xico, so I will bring your questions and post in the afternoon.

BTW, Orbit is about 1 1/2 each away from us and have been their every day this week.

We are either: Die hard Porsche fanatics or Losers with no life.
Guys, please don't answer I am afraid of the truth!
