Default Motons for Street/Track Car?

Just how feasible is this idea? I am currently lookign for a set of coilover system for the S, and I want the absolute best. Unfortunately, my S is essentially a weekend car with maybe 2-3 track events per month. Unfortunately, I don't want to swap the suspension every time I go to the track.

If I were to use this setup, after how many miles would the motons need to be serviced?

Thanks.

Have you considered JRZs?

You should buy JRZs. The kit is more developed and more people use them so there is a better pool of support.

JRZ's are similar in design and quality and, as cthree says, more experience with JRZ's in S2000's. But you can't go wrong with either.

Triple adjustables will allow you to soften the damping and have a fairly nice ride when off the track. Double adjustable not so much so. The downside is they will need to be rebuilt every 18 months (10-15K miles??) or so. They're expensive, but if you can swing it, its a good choice. Motons, JRZ, etc.. are all basically in the same league. It mostly depends on tuning at that point.

From there you might want to look at the KW variant 3. I have no direct experience, but from everything I've heard they are pretty nice, and have a decent ride. (515lb/in front and rear).

JRZ's?

Well, if thye're in the same league as Motons, then I'm definitely considering it! But seriously though, who the heck runs Motons/JRZs on the street? I hope I'm not asking a ridiculous question!

my friend ran motons on his bmw m3 for about 3 weeks and then he sold them because of his back pain.

I'm starting feel I'm encouraging the purchase of bling...
