I would like to know the handling differences:
1. all out g capacity
2. slolem
3. bump steer

with the same car, tires, spring rates will it really be worth $2000 extra
that's what it comes down to.
(I personally doubt it and will probabley buy the Ledas)

You really ought to consider the Motons, the increased adjustability over the Ledas for the same money is worth alot, and I've had realy good experiences with the Moton people in terms of product support and info. You can literally change the spring rate with nitrogen pressure in what usually are called the bump cans, but with the Motons they work a little differently. Moton race shocks are in alot of 911s in Europe and they made a set for the 944, did a ton of testing a southern tracks in 2001 and 2

I agree with Dave E. The Moton Club Sports worked well for me this past season. I lost my LSD right before the CIR Putnam club race and we were able to dial the shocks in enough to help compensate for the loss of the LSD. Ended up first in class 3rd overall, GT3S, sharing the ride with Craig 88.

Alan, could you give us a better idea of the actual adjustability of the Motons by telling us what "dial in" means in this case? In other words, what precisely did you do to the shocks to compensate for the lack of a LSD? TIA

I lowered the nitrogen pressure in the rear and decreased the bump which let the car squat more on acceleration out of a corner.

They are available for the 951. For 944/968 applications, JRZ recommends Ryan Dettling at The Racer's Group or Cary Eisenlohr at ERP (562-595-5575).
