Anyone know anything about rebuilding Motons. Need help. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a set of S14 Motons that need a rebuild. I really don't want to pay Moton $600 to rebuild my coilovers. Any advices or post you know of that explain how to rebuild them?

I might also be thinking of selling them. I'm on the fence.

Pics for reference.

Considering these are like 10k new on 240sxmotoring.comvi would gladly spend the 600 to rebuild

Ditto. 600's a drop in the bucket. Even if that was PER shock.

have you tried going to a race prep shop in your area? you can probably find some body than can rebuild them for less. i know $600 is cheap compared to how much the suspension costs, but that is still $600. that can be hard to come by now a days. if these are for a race car, i would have them rebuilt, but probably not if it`s for a street car. sell them and buy a less expensive kit.

something like that.. I wouldn't chance it on a back yard rebuild. like all posters above.. would you change the head gasket to a lambo in your own garage? same idea.

Thanks guys. I think since I sold the car I might as well get rid of these. I don't know when I'll get another s14 in the near future. Ill post them up in the current condition. I feel as if I spent the money and rebuild them, no one will buy these for 2600-3000. Everyone would want them but no one would really have that kinda cash to blow on coilovers.
