I think you mean 'Boatons'. They're really good.

Actually looks like Karl sells them. I'd talk to him as he knows these cars too, as opposed to just a generic dealer. Look at the Clubsports. Think they're around the $3500-$4200 mark from memory. Only thing is with Karl, he tends to use lower spring rates than what I'm guessing you're after.
So I guess you don't want my KWs either.



ps Stay away from my times too!!

Thom, interesting to read what you say about the max neg you can run. Surely this is also determined by the camber plates you have? So without any further ado, what camber plates do you have? lol
I think -2 can't be the max for such an expensive but good setup. Do you have any adjustment in your top mounts?

Patrick, I have Racer's Edge camber plates, set on neutral.
If I put them the other way around I could compensate for the negative camber, but I never took the time to do it and anyway the camber plates will be for sale if I sell the shocks because I don't want to see any pink stuff under the hood anymore.
-2° camber with the Moton is the closest I can get to 0°.

Sorry Thom, I totally misread that. I thought it was that you can't get any more than -2o. My mistake.
How long have you had them. Sounds like a good setup, but yes, expensive.
btw, what spring rates are you running?
