Moton suspension worth it on an 07' GT3
I'm looking at the top of the line Moton Suspension kit that a friend of mine has for sale (used). I've heard retail is around 15k and he's discounting it around 50%. That's still a lot of money! I've heard the suspension is one of the best investments for improving performance on the track. Opinions please.

First that pricing does not sound right. I have never heard of Moton set up for $15K. Check into that some more.
Next how much serious tracking are you going to do? It maybe over kill expense for 4 or 5 DE's a year.
Motons are top of the line but from what I understand they aren't the just set it and leave'em alone. They require tweeking and attention.
If you haven't done anything to the GT3 consider a good track alignment, corner balance, lowering and other suspension components, ie. RSS set up.
The car will feel much better and you can always add more components later.

I track around 10-15 times a year. I'm not a super serious driver, just middle of the road. I was told that these are the top of the line Motons. I'm guessing the clubsport. This car is mainly set up for tracking. I have a turbo I drive around town. The car currently has a 2.8 neg. camber in front, 18" Fiske rims w/ Hoosier R6's. The car handles pretty good now but I would like to tweak it a bit more.

Moton Suspension
It is not a ClubSport Suspension. These are Motorsports 3 setting suspension. Two bump, one rebound. Check with Moton, GA, they list for $15K.

it's not club sport. they are not 5 digit $
even triple adj racing moton are not 15000.
not worth it.
for your use, club sport is more than adequate. anything more than that, you need a very good set up guy with you at every track you go to.

+1 to that. I have the 2 way Motons on my car for close to a year now and I'm just starting to get some feel for their use.
