What are you going to be using them for?

Unless you are tracking or autoxing the car on a professional level, you do not need Motons.

Why would you recommend Moton to someone who doesn't drive their ITR in a spirited manner at all?

i dont think that was the point he was getting at...he is asking why are you recommending them if you've never used it...

holy oogly moogly....everybody is being a bit combative today.

Original Poster: You have to tell us what you are doing with your car and how much money you intend to spend.

Asking what the best damper kit is, is kinda like saying "I need a new car, what's the best? My current one blew up."

x2. First you must determine what your interests are. Is this street only? How are the roads in your area? Is this going to be a partially DE car and see some track time? How much are your limits for stiff spring rates? Once you can answer all of that, and a price range your willing to spend, then we can go from there.

I wasnt talking about the price at all, I was asking if you have any EXPERIENCE with them;, first hand and if so how many roadcourse/auto-x events and whatnot, seeing as you're reccomending them as the "best" suspension for the ITR ("If you have the money"); if not then yes you'd be saying ****.

why spend like $5000 + for a suspension when you can get a Tein Flex or another good suspension for like $1200 installed... and it will tear up the track all day long

I had zeal B6 on all my R's and I loved them. I am not sure what the model is that replaced the B series suspension kits but they are probobly equavilant. They are a little expensive but worth it in my opinion.
