Coilovers installed, the car rides amazing now.

Ohlins Flags coilovers, swapped the spring s around. 10k in the front, 12k in the back.
Whiteline roll center kit.
Whiteline bump steer bushing.
Whiteline trailing arm bushing.
Perrin positive steering response.
Alignment and corner balancing by Robi.
Girodisc 2-piece front rotors/DBA 4000 in the back, with DS2500/street and Pagids RS29/track days.
Already had Perrin RSB and a modified front sway bar, with homemade end links.

I thought the ride would be harsh and bouncy, but with the coilovers set a couple of clicks from full soft, the car rides a tad better than stock. No more swaying, pushing or shoving, just point and shoot. The car goes where you want it to with ease and very little effort. The best way to describe it is “Neutral” and very predictable, even in the rain.

Holy fak! I wish I had like $6000 worth of some of the best suspension parts available "sitting around" for me to install at my leisure!

That is one dream suspension setup. I'm hella jealous, I want!

Nice nice!

Thanks for all the pics. I think our cars are setup pretty close judging by the ride height & camber settings.

I installed the coilovers and the sway bar myself and left the bushings for Robi to install. I could've done it my self, but it wasn't woth my time.

10k/12K seemed too stiff for street driving for me but I didnt have those baller Ohlins, I have PIC Select... swapped my springs to a 8k/10k and its still way harsh just not as bad, must be the extra money you spent for a good coilover lol

10/12k is not bad at all, is it like driving a Lexus? No. Considering the 5 miles-stretch of crappy pavement on the way to work, I’m surprised they ride as good as they do. If you are fine driving a stock evo, this setup should not bother you.

What's the ballpark price difference between the Ohlin Flags and the Moton Clubsports? A guy in NorCal went from the Ohlins to the Motons and picked up 2-3 seconds at Thunderhill IIRC.

wassup erik the"cat man"LOL

[Erik@MIL.SPEC]

I am glad the OP likes his set-up, however both the flags and the Motons seem to be in the same price bracket and I was wondering how they compared since Smack Evo seemed to pick up significant time on the Motons compared to the Flags.

Just curious, not trying to cause trouble

[AlwaysinBoost]

was switching from the flags to motons the only change made?

[Erik@MIL.SPEC]

I think so, but I am not positive. His screen name on here is SmackEvo, and he set a course record at Thunderhill in NASA TT (I think) with the Motons. However, his car was a victim of one of the infamous broken MIVEC cams.

[AlwaysinBoost]

broken cam... ouch

a 2-3 second gain is HUGE... Id have a hard time believing the the motons are THAT much better then the flags.

[GTWORX.com]

I'm sure a lot of that came down to set-up. Motons are essentially built to order and completely custom, which means by definition there is a lot more effort put into them.
