They were all at the 25 hrs of thunder hill... I don't think you will catch Jason at the shop this week, he will still be out here on the west coast next week. I would shoot him an email.

Such as not cutting any holes in the chassic and having to use oem upper shock mounts that mate to motons without changing lower shock perch heights.
I am actually surprised they allow the Moton in T3, they are not legal in Solo Stock class because of their overall length. I did not see anywhere in the GCR that it gives an allowance for overall length changes.

well that's why I suggested the 2812s, the inverted setup in the rear allows full access to the adjusters and the quality is as good or better i.e. top of the line motorsport damper

Koni specifically doesn't use remotes on their motorsport dampers due to hysteris effects deterring from maximum low speed response

nothing wrong with Motons, just more to monkey around with in mounting them, Jason's your man though, a couple of days shouldn't be any big deal if you're set on going that way
