Hi Darien. Congrats on a very exciting an awesome build!!!

Have you had enough time behind the wheel to give a little review on the MCS coilovers? I'm looking at a set of MCS 2way (with no remote reservoir) and so far have only read good things.

Thanks

Don't forget to pack some extra asbestos in there!

Its no joke, even with new ceramic pagid pads, I had to take samples and swabs from the car and send for testing in advance to help with customs clearance.

Hi,
I also did all the homework and recieved lots of good feedback on MCS from people i trust, both in Australia and the US. That is why i picked MCS dampers for my car.

They are actively involved in motorsport and development, and really supportive to club level guys like us.
MCS had my car specs and what i was planning on using the car for, and set up my dampers to the spring rate ranges i’ll be running. They have plenty of experience on 911’s so the base set up is pretty good (the guys used to be Moton and JRZ).

On the first run the car was quite well balanced and neutral straight out of the box, will do some tuning when the car is back in Australia. Really please with the quality and service.

Thanks for that! That's the general impression I get re: their service and support. I've given my specs and they're coming up with a package for my use and specs as well. It's good to hear your early positive feedback.

Thanks

Any followup to the MCS suspension or racing this beast? How's that E-Brake handle working out?

How’s this thing going?

Re-read this thread so many times and it’s inspiring me! Just as Tim did (TVO), I’ll be speccing some MCS after all the good reviews!
