Product details
OVERVIEW
The Moton 3-Way Motorsport is the top of Moton's coilover range for the F80 M3 and F82 / F83 M4: a race-spec monotube damper with independently adjustable high-speed compression, low-speed compression and rebound, plus ride-height adjustment. Built by Moton (AST Suspension) in the Netherlands and engineered for endurance racing and serious time-attack use, it is the choice for a car that lives on track and needs the damper tuned to the tire, the circuit and the driver.
Moton splits the F8X into two part numbers by front top-mount bolt pattern: pre-LCI cars use a 3-bolt mount and LCI cars use a 5-bolt mount. Check your car's top-mount bolt pattern before selecting an Application above.

Required Extras
- None. No additional hardware or accessories are required beyond what is included with this kit.
Installation
- Pre-LCI (3-bolt) and LCI (5-bolt) top mounts are a hardware difference, not just a model-year split — verify your car's top-mount bolt pattern before ordering.
- Moton does not publish a public installation PDF; kits ship with application-specific setup notes from Moton. Installation and baseline damper setup should be performed by a shop experienced with motorsport coilovers, followed by a four-wheel alignment.
- Speed Logic offers in-house installation and alignment — request an appointment.
