jrz rs coilovers

I'm getting a set of JRZ RS coilovers for a 01 TT and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with them. I'm not looking to start another moton vs jrz vs jic etc thread. I'm just looking for valid thoughts and opinions on this product. Thanks!

Dumped my PSS9's for these. Great shock with tons of adjustability. My PSS9's were jumping all over the place after lowering the car to GT2 height. These are firm and great on the street even at GT2 height. Go for it!

which motons are you comparing this to though? isn't the basic moton non-adjustable?

ALMOST as good as motons? Based on what?


There are tons of Porsche racing teams that use them, and I'm not talking about just club racing either.

I'm not trying to start another comparison thread... there are plenty of those threads already out there. I'm looking for feedback from those with actual experience with these coilovers. Thanks ssmugen for the PM

Guys, motons just have a better name...the products are nearly identical...


And yes, there IS a reason why most porsche teams run JRZ on their cars...haha

As for JIC, complete step down, but still a decent product.



I LOVE The shocks, never had ANYTHING that was as good a value as the RSpros. Its worth the money 100 times over. As anyone who has seen me or my car at the track, and they can answer how capable they are. They are absolutely PHENOMENAL when you have someone set them up the right way and have people to work with on track.

I have been running them for about a year and a half and I am completely
happy with them... I did a few track days last year and they worked very well...

I can attest to this, especially with a great driver too

BTW Moton/JRZ are 2 of the top of the food chain, without getting into CRAZY stuff such as penske, etc.! Can't go wrong with either. Even on the worst alignment spec/setup for either they feel out of this world LOL!

i know this from the founder of JRZ: Moton are 99% identical to JRZ. this is becuase the guy who started Moton, worked for JRZ for several years, and took that technology and started his own susp. company.

just throwing that into the mix.

very correct...the only real difference btw the two I would say are some colors and who they market to!
