Full DIY - custom Moton coilover install

Ok yall, time for a serious DIY project that is a huge upgrade from Kies Motorsports and AST Moton.

Kies spent a couple of years working on a collaboration kit and have released their 16 way adjustable coil-over kit for the G8X line. This includes RWD and AWD cars, and I couldn't wait to get a set on my G87 M2.

This is a fantastic upgrade, and a very achievable DIY for the home enthusiast.

Check it out!

Good video.
I had no idea that ProTools could code out EDC. When I was trying to find a solution a year ago, having someone remote into your car was the only known way. By the way, the strut accelerating sensors are used for the EDC, so you can just remove them. I have no idea why coilover companies include brackets for those sensors—they are useless once you go to coilovers.
I like how Moton uses that blue bracket for the upper swaybar link. That is better than other designs out there in my opinion. Ohlins and MCS swaybar link bracket can lead to binding depending on the links you use.

Huh! I didn't know that about the sensors, thank you!

The blue color is actually because of the first edition of these for Kies, in blue. The normal ones are exactly the same, just without the blue.
