Moton Adjustable Coilovers for M3/M4 - 2/3/4 Way


Moton is a renowned damper brand, started its activities in 1999.

Moton Suspension Technology develops, manufactures and markets a full range of high quality, easy to use and state of the art adjustable dampers.

Moton has become a Worldwide provider of high performance shock absorbers used by many prominent manufacturers and racing teams worldwide. With our dedicated team of specialists we can make the handling of your car live up to all your expectations. We are specialized in custom-made damper solutions, our applications are mainly used in GT- and Touring cars as well as in High Performance street cars. We provide user-friendly and efficient technology. Flexibility and hi-tech solutions are the real added values of our brand Moton Suspension Technology.

By June of 2000, 30% of the starting field at the famous 24 hours race of Le Mans was equipped with Moton dampers and since that time many Championships were won on Moton dampers like the FIA GT and FIA Sportcar Championship, FIA ETCC and FIA WTCC Championship, Grand-Am and World Challenge Championship, 24 Hours of Spa, 24 Hours of Le Mans, 12 hours of Sebring and 10 hours of the Petit Le Mans, and not to mention numerous national GT, Touring and Club Racing events all over the world.

In 2012 is Moton ready for the next generation Sport and Motorsport damper with less friction and new design philosohy. With the development of new seals and new coatings Moton is ready for the future. All Moton suspension is produced by AST Suspension in the Netherlands.

Below is a sneak peek computer rendering of the upcoming M3/M4 Moton System. We will be installing one of the first systems on our shop M4.


Moton 2-Way Sport Coilover System

The Sport line is designed for the serious club racer and high performance street driver. This ultimate suspension system is by far the finest quality and best handling suspension system on the market today.



Featuring remote reservoirs for superior fluid temperature control, quick release hydraulic lines (on most models) for easy installation, separate compression and rebound damper valving adjustment and height adjustable spring perches, this kit is beyond the more common coil-over systems on the market. If your driving can benefit for the ultimate in suspension tuning, then this kit is for you.

Specifications
The Moton Sport damper features 15 positions of bump adjustment on the remote reservoir and 15 positions of rebound on top of the piston rod. Each adjustment done to the damper is very noticeable to the driver. Our Sport dampers are designed to be uncomplicated, easy to use and to deliver the absolute best performance. The Sport dampers perform really well at low speed as well as high speed velocities which gives you total control regardless of the conditions. The reservoir is connected by a high pressure hose and is equipped with swivel banjos for easy installation of the canisters in the car regardless of the position. The damper bodies are produced from the highest quality steel or aluminum. The shaft are induction hardened and chrome plated. The canister pressure can be varied between 6 - 18 bar (100 - 300 psi) to help support the car in high speed cornering with soft springs.

Benefits include
- Comfortable on daily roads
- Easy to adjust to a real race setup
- Easy to work with
- Every single adjustment done is very noticeable to the driver
- Proven reliability
- Wide range of spring rates can be used
- Improved platform stability
- Improved traction, higher grip level
- Improved curb stone and bumpy track control
- Improved tire wear

Features
- Separate Bump (15) and rebound (15) control
- Ride height adjustable
- Unique blow off valve system in remote reservoirs
- Large piston rod diameter for more fluid displacement
- Adjustable gas pressure for added lifting force
- Large main piston for quick response
- No preloaded valve stacks needed for low speed damping control
- Swivel banjo hoses for easy installation of remote reservoirs

Moton 3-Way Motorsport Pro Coilover System

The 3-Way adjustable Moton damper features 15 positions of high speed bump, 6 positions low speed bump and 15 positions of rebound adjustment. The low speed bump adjuster is located on top of the high speed bump adjuster and can be adjusted in dependably. The low speed bump adjuster is very effective in helping to control body roll while adding to turn in and is effective in controlling pitch and squat. The 3-Way adjustable Moton damper is using, like the double adjustable damper, a unique blow off valve system in the canister to totally control curb stones and bumpy track conditions.

Benefits include
- Improved platform stability
- Improved traction, higher grip level
- Improved curb stone and bumpy track control
- Improved tire wear over race distance

- Swivel banjo hoses for easy installation of remote reservoirs

Moton 4-Way Motorsport Pro Coilover System

The 4-Way adjustable Motorsport damper has been developed over the last few years in conjunction with many professional racing teams all over the W orld. After winning the FIA European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) in 2004 with our Triple adjustable damper, we designed and developed this unique 4-Way damper with Andy Priaulx’s Team in preparation of the 2005 FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). The rest is history and the 2005, 2006 and 2007 FIA WTCC title was clinched by Andy Priaulx running the Moton 4-Way damper system.

Specifications
The 4-Way adjustable Motorsport damper is available as a McPherson Strut in either Aluminum or Steel or as a Aluminum Coil-over damper. It can be custom built to your specifications. The Moton 4-Way damper features separate low- and high speed bump and rebound control. The 2 rebound adjusters are located on top of the piston rod and adjust completely independent from each other. Both low- and high speed rebound do have a adjustment range of 20 clicks each. The 2 bump adjusters are located on top of the reservoir, the low speed bump can be adjusted into 6 different settings by turning the small knob on top of the reservoir. The high speed bump can be adjusted into 15 different settings by turning the large knob on top of the reservoir. The 4-Way damper is featuring a unique double piston design. The primary large main piston does have a double non preloaded valve stack on it for bump and rebound control and is designed for quick response during the smallest movement of the piston. The secondary piston is designed with the use of a unique blow off valve system for high speed rebound control. The low speed rebound is controlled by adjusting an internal needle valve.

Benefits include
- Improved platform stability
- Improved traction, higher grip level
- Improved curb stone and bumpy track control
- Improved tire wear over race distance
- Easy to adjust and work with
- Every single adjustment done is very noticeable to the driver

Thanks for the info Tom. I added it to the master list. Such an amazing kit finally coming to the F8X.

Couple questions... Are the camber plates going to be available for both the 3 bolt and 5 bolt configurations? And more importantly... from the looks of the computer rendering and accompanying product photos, it looks like the rear will be a true spring coilover-over-shock system. Is this the case or will they retain the stock spring perch location that is separate from the shock? Or perhaps the 2-way Sport one will retain the OEM configuration and the 3-way/4-way Motorsport ones will go with the spring-coilover-over-shock configuration?

Both OEM spring configuration (divorced) and true coilover rear setup will be available depending on how the kit is configured, the renderings are based on the 3-Way and 4-Way track units (non-divorced).

Camber Plates are offered in both 3-bolt and 5-bolt uppers. BMW made the switch to 5-bolt in 1/15+, previous production F8X upper shock mounts are 3-bolt.

Such a great news that they are back with F8X's coilover system.

Tom, do you have the pricing for 2way coilover yet? Very interested in getting one as I am in the market for clubsport coilover.

What has to be done if your car has EDC? I saw that KW has some delete package that you have to purchase. Something similar for the Motons?

Thanks.

M-Adaptive/EDC can be coded out or we can offer the KW Code isolators.

Can anyone confirm the springs rates recommended for this kit?

Someone posted "570 lbs/in in the front and 456 lbs/in in the rear"

Is this correct?

What are you using them for - track, dual duty or street?

The R 456 lbf/in is for a coilover rear setup, not the OEM divorced rear spring setup.

dual duty, I just want to confirm that 570/456 is the correct rate for Moton 2/3 way.

Also does anyone know how to calculate rate factor between true rear coilover vs 'divorced' control arm spring mount.

Moton / MCS’s similar in terms of capability...

I am running MCS 2WWR now, 600/375 with true coil-over rear. To keep things simple, the rear motion ratio is ~94% of spring rate, whereas with a non rear coil-over (oem setup) is more like ~47% of spring rate. It’s a firm setup, but once you dial in the dampers, it can be a lot of fun.

When I ran Moton’s with the non rear coil-overs, I ran 600/650 or 600/700, it’s a good baseline to start based on my experience. On my E46-M3, I ran Moton 2W Clubsports 700/750 (non rear coil-over, and was running the car as heavy dual duty.
