Moton Street Sport Single-Adjustable Damper Set

Internals as clean and attractive as the external packaging, filled with undeniable Moton race-winning heritage

Moton is a well-known name in racing and high-end performance worldwide.  Founded in 1999 armed with 10 years of damper design and manufacturing, Moton quickly assumed the role of the leader in state-of-the-art adjustable dampers.  By June 2000, 30 percent of the Le Mans field was running the recognizable orange damper.  Since that time, Moton dampers have won championships in FIA GT-N, FIA GT and FIA Sportscar, World Challenge Touring and GT, Grand-Am and Grand-Am Cup, the Belgium GT, British GT, French GT, Italian GT, 24 Hours of SPA, 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as numerous regional and national club titles all over the world.

Owned by damper guru Jerome van Gool, Moton is soley a performance damper manufacturer. This unique position, without partners, corporate ownership, or internal competition from other projects or divisions, puts Moton in the unique position to carry out van Gool's vision of uncompromised design and quality in which the product speaks for itself. This ideal carries directly into the Street Sport Single damper line, which is an extension of the Motorsport racing damper line, not a watered-down version with cheaper parts and design compromises to meet mass-market demands.  Your Moton Street Sport Single receives the same loving care and exacting assembly and testing that is given to the $15,000 damper set destined to win Le Mans, without compromise.

This Ultra-Premium damper doesn't just get built on the Motorsport race damper production line - the Moton Street Sport Single contains many of the exact same parts that have won these numerous races and championships as well.  The only design and component changes are a result of the packaging demands of a non-remote reservoir strut and shock and never a cost constraint.  In fact, due to the side-loading of a strut car and internal component requirements necessary in a high-gas pressure strut, Moton's investment in design and internal parts increased to produce this damper.

Design Highlights

• Monotube design shares parts with proven Motorsport dampers, including complete shaft assembly - the only parts that aren't shared are the damper body and internal gas reservoir
• Separate aluminum gas reservoir with floating piston in struts for durability - extremely important to extend lifespan of a bottom-clamped strut in a BMW suspension
• Large main piston for quick response
• 22mm shaft diameter provides extremely capable low-speed damping control
• No pre-load needed on valve stack at the main piston to reduce operating temperatures - overheating leads many other brands to fade with extended use
• Double piston design on struts (aluminum pistons with twin Teflon piston bands) provides increased stability when running slicks or other excessive side-load environments

Build Specifications

• Components machined from the best materials available with extremely narrow tolerances - there are no cost reductions tucked away inside a pretty package 
• Teflon coated shaft guide bushings for reduced friction
• CrMo chrome plated and induction hardened shafts
• Same damper oil as Motorsport racing dampers - some brands use cheap oil in their cheaper, less adjustable shocks
• Dampers are automatically vacuum filled with shock oil using specialized equipment to eliminate gas inside the oil

Adjustment

• Top-mounted rebound knob gives 15 positions of adjustment through the same range and with the same rebound damping curves as Motorsport dampers
• Compression adjusts in conjunction with rebound adjustment (not independently adjustable, so not a true double-adjustable damper)
• Unique rebound adjustment system opens and closes precisely drilled orifices at the shaft end instead of relying on the flow of oil around a needle valve.  This makes shock changes precise and repeatable, which is not always typical of a less expensive needle-valve system
• Every click of adjustment is noticeable to the driver

Performance

• 22mm shaft diameter and resulting low-speed damping control allows use of lower spring rates for street and light track applications while still maintaining platform control to resist roll and dive/squat
• When used with higher spring rates for more direct platform control, damping curves provide a minimal increase of jarring ride qualities on the street and virtually eliminate bounciness on even the bumpiest racetracks
• Wide range of spring rates can be used (not included in damper-only set) - contact your sales representative to determine your requirements
• Responsive damper adjustment provides a quick transformation from spouse-approved street manners to track animal - no more adjustment knob placebo effect to leave you wondering what you changed

Packaging

• Easy installation on car
• Threaded-body front struts include spring perches for 2.25” springs and plastic adapter rings for 60mm springs
• Dampers are rebuildable for a long service life and revalvable (we would rarely advocate the need)

The Moton Street Sport Single damper set comes with dampers, front spring perches, top attachment nuts, and rebound adjustment knobs.  Springs, rear ride-height adjusters, and rear shock mounts are required and available separately or as a complete package with dampers.  Camber plates also available, but not required.
