these can and will sort out the gt2.

Ok... now for the motons, are you saying that the factory set-up needs to control the rebound? As for alingment- more - on the front or rears? How about toe out- front to rear? Now how about the sway bars- which settings?
Corner balance?
Oh one more thing,toe links- Solid ones from TRG/ Cary E?

Any specs on alingment for now?

Before you tear a suspension out of a GT2, I think you might want to drive the car stock first. 9.9 out of 10 drivers will have a hard time maxing out the stock suspension. Motons are great but unless you are going to make the car a dedicated track car, I dont think it would be the smartest move. Suspension is not why so many were crashed it was too much car and too little talent.

You are right, very true! BUT, the big thing about redoing a suspension, hell even the stock suspension with new alignment spec's and a few components is that it will give the average to real experienced driver much more confidence and comfort to be able to exploit the car's potential! Either way if you don't know what you are doing you will get into trouble though, more so with more confidence and comfort with the setup, I have not spun off any track thus far though, and I drive my car HARD (not Matt hard though LOL)

I would love to meet up some day BTW< we have not had a solid chance to chat, yet have been at the same events multiple times!

We met briefly at the hospital run. I was standing next to Raudel in front of the convience store across the street. I wanted to ask you how those 335 don't rub the inner liners in the rear. I run 315's NT-01 and rub a little bit.

It would be very difficult to let go and would take a very special replacement for me do so. Still undecided.

AHhh, didn't know it was you, sorry.

We should meet up sometime, pm me your schedule or when you are free, would love a photoshoot or a little drive or something! We are doing a run Saturday if you have any interest, should be a ton of fun... 5pm meet up, like a poker run.

My 335's do not rub, only on the street if there is a huge dip in the road, otherwise they are fine. It's a combo of camber and my suspension setup and offset of wheels
