which suspension setup is "the ****" theese days?

I have to agree with Chris on keeping it simple especially if you don't have the time or help to dial in adjustable shocks. Several years ago I had the LEDA single adjustable on my 951 and they were great shocks a huge improvement over the previous Koni set up and I never thought I would change. All was good until I drove a car like mine with Moton Club Sports and I was a believer. The independent compression and rebound really lets you dial the car in but it does take some time to figure out what works. I have now been running the MOTON shocks for 8 years and they are excellent on the track and have good ride comfort when adjusted for street use. They are not cheap but you get what you pay.

A lot of what you say echoes what happened to me also Anders. I used to have to run the 968 sway on full soft too. Not sure why but with the Tarretts there seems to be a lot more available adjustments. Not only because of the design but also am able to use the full range unlike the 968 version.
Assuming these work with remote motors Chris?

FYI.... with my 315/315 setup, I don't run a rear sway bar at all....

Here...
Have a look at this. This was done on 1/2 wore out NT-01's granny shifting because of air in the clutch slave...... This was last Friday on a test day.
Best time is a 1:28.4 on Bilstein Escort suspension.
This is at WSIR big track. Ask around people that know that track... if that's a fast lap time :-)
Oh yeah... and the car was driven to the track :-)

I have the Ledas on my street/track day car. The ability to easily adjust them and the wide range of adjustment is great and does help the times on different tracks. I have the Moton Clubsports on my race car and I also really like the adjustability they provide. At one of the races last year which was on a airport course you really needed to run over a couple of curbs to be quick. Adjusting the compression down and playing with the rebound also gave me a very stable car over that section and I could see it was upsetting several other cars when I was behind them.
So for a track only car I would go the Clubsports, for a street and track day car I really like the Leda.
Anders, I almost forgot to ad that the rear Clubsports are a bit of a pain to adjust as you have to un-bolt them from the mount to adjust the compression.

My understanding was that Moton didn't want us to use a solid metal bracket due to the reservoirs expanding / contracting?
Dan, I don't understand why you have to unbolt the rears to adjust? I thought the shocks were mounted inverted so you had direct access to the adjuster?

I heard from their North American distributor a few weeks ago that Leda is out of business, again. So that may not be an option unless you can find some used ones. That is what I have, and I'm happy with them, but I'm not nearly experienced enough to give a realiable opinion.

Hmm, that's a bit odd. Wonder if anyone else is having this problem? I've not heard of it before Dan.
