I have been waiting a while for the parts to come in, but I just dropped off my 996 GT2 to have an MCS (formerly Moton) suspension installed, as well as a Safecraft fire bottle system. I will be picking it up in about a week. I can't wait!

 

Was your car stock before? Will the fire system be inside cab and engine compartment?

 

The car was not stock, but only modestly modified. It has exhaust, tune, roll bar, harness and a sequential shifter to name a few. The suspension was OEM. The fire bottle system goes to the engine, fuel cell, and driver. The bottle will mount behind the passenger seat.

 

I think we are going to go with a push-button activation instead of a pull handle. We are going to remove the 4-CD rack which I NEVER use, fabricate an aluminum plate to go in it's place to mount the Safecraft billet push button. I like the idea because I always thought that CD player was silly in a GT2 anyway.

 

Best of luck, I think you will be happy.

 

Can't wait to hear how you like the MCS suspension. As soon as I figure out what spring rates I want, I'm ordering me a set too. Lex is local as well so I have all the support I need. AST made a huge mistake by not keeping Lex on board.

 

Me too! I appreciate the advice you gave me on spring rates! I went with exactly what we discussed. They recommended a track alignment as well, since I plan on tracking the car this spring, and I don't put a lot of street miles on it anyway.

 

Robby from Piper Motorsports just sent me these pictures of the fire suppression push-button-mounting. I think it looks perfect. I had them remove the CD tray, which I have never used, and they fabricated a panel to replace it. What do you think so far?

 

any link to the suspension, i keep hearing about the Motion suspension which is by the ex owner of Moton but can't find anything on the web.

 

What spring rates are you going with?

 

I think it looks bad-***, but I'd be waaaaaaaay too worried about hitting that button by accident!!

 

Looks great!

 

The button has a safety pin (not shown) that stays in all the time except for the track.

500 lbs front, and 700 lbs rear. I didn't want to go too stiff because I still plan on street driving.
