Do the Moton 1-Way Dampers for Early 911 cars include springs?

No. MOTON lists this set as an OEM replacement with no spring hardware, so the Moton 1-Way Dampers for Early 911 cars work with the factory torsion bars. Ride height and spring rate stay as the car is set up now, and the torsion bar adjusters are used exactly as before.

What is the difference between this set and the early 911 coilover kit?

This set replaces the dampers and keeps the torsion bars, so the car stays sprung as Porsche built it. The MOTON coilover kit for the same cars adds springs on threaded damper bodies for adjustable ride height. The dampers suit originality and reversibility; the coilover kit suits a car built for the track.

Which 911s does the OEM-replacement set fit?

MOTON lists it for the torsion-bar 911 from 1963 to 1989, which takes in the long-hood cars, the G-models and the Carrera 3.2. Cars have often been modified over the decades, so send us the chassis number and any suspension changes before ordering and we will confirm fitment.

Is the set suited to a car that is driven on the road?

Yes. It keeps the factory springing and adds one rebound adjuster per damper, so an original early 911 gains better body control without a change in ride height or character. Rebound can be set softer for road driving and firmer for a track day, and the dampers are rebuildable.

How difficult is installation?

It is a job for a shop that knows torsion-bar 911s. MOTON lists the set as an OEM replacement for the factory dampers, and the torsion bars only need resetting if the ride height is being changed at the same time. An alignment check should follow any suspension work on the car.

Moton 1-Way Dampers for Early 911 Porsche, Torsion Bar OEM Replacement

Moton’s 1-Way Dampers for Early 911 Porsche cars replace the factory shocks on a torsion-bar 911 and keep the original springing, with one rebound adjuster per damper. MOTON lists the set as an OEM replacement for the 911 from 1963 to 1989, with no spring hardware in the kit: the torsion bars still carry the car and set its ride height. That makes it the least invasive way to fit MOTON damping to an original car, and the change can be reversed. Rebound adjustment lets the damping be matched to the torsion bar rates the car already runs.

Design and Performance

Because the torsion bars stay, ride height and spring rate are whatever the car has now, set at the torsion bar adjusters as before. The dampers change how the car controls those springs: rebound decides how quickly each corner recovers after a bump, and MOTON valving handles compression. Owners who want threaded ride height and coil springs should look at the Moton 1-Way Coilovers for Early 911 Porsche and 930 Turbo, a full coilover conversion for the same cars.

About Moton

MOTON Suspension Technology was founded in the Netherlands in 1999, and by June 2000 around 30 percent of the cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans ran its dampers. MOTON has since won in the FIA GT and FIA Sportscar championships, the ETCC and WTCC, Grand-Am and World Challenge. AST Suspension acquired the brand in 2011, and every MOTON damper is now developed, tested and built by the AST x MOTON team in the Netherlands, part of the Roosen Industries group since 2016.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
