Default Motons StreetSport

I just discovered that Motons now has a StreetSport version of their suspension available. No external canister, easy installation. Found it on the french RS magazine. Has anyone tried it? You can check it out on www.atomix-r.fr
This might be a great after suspension without having to deal with delicates adjustments as it is specifically made for the 997GT3.

Love to hear from anyone who has tried them. Price of course is important too, if it is much more then 2.5-3K, i would rather have the fully adjustable system or maybe the RS Tuning or Cargraphic coilover system

Strange that Moton's website makes no mention of them:

for a long time, moton wanted to make a version of club sport with NO external reservoir. they may have made such system for certain models.

but you might want to call moton. sometimes magazine and shops will advertize items that do not exist.

Will it still work with the suspension button inside the car?

If Erik needs them, I need them more...

i personally prefer the motorsport line for it's H/S adjustments. Yes you need a pro to dial them in, but lex at moton can rattle settings off the top of his head for any car/application.

I don't think the Street Sport are electronic shocks. The pictures show a **** for rebound adjustment, and the shocks are described as double adjustable for compression and rebound with 7 positions.

It's nice to see Moton getting on the street applications, and compete with Bilstein PSS9/B16/PSS10 and KW. Most street cars benefit from an affordable set of coilovers and sway bars for DE/Time Trial/AutoX use.

I wonder how these compare to the JRZ RS, my guess is that is the model they were made after to compete against.

We have the first set in North America and have installed on our 997TT

I will have a detailed report with pictures shortly.

We are taking pre-orders on the systems now.
