Premium, motorsports grade damper systems from Motion Control Suspension, for the ZZW30 MR2 Spyder. Jointly developed for the MR2 by MCS and Wilhelm Raceworks, and available for the MR2 exclusively through Wilhelm Raceworks, the MCS damper system is one of the best currently on the market!

MCS dampers feature a monotube design, and are available in 2-way and 3-way and 4-way adjustable damper configurations. Due to clearance issues with the MR2 Spyder front sway bar, remote reservoirs are required unless you intend to delete the front sway bar, or build a custom one that clears the strut. See the Motion Control buyers guide for more specific technical details.

All Wilhelm Raceworks coilover builds using MCS struts use 2.25" Hyperco springs for maximum tire clearance, and lowest weight. Roller bearing front spring perches are also included. Alternate spring brands and diameters are available by special request.

Made in the USA! Built to order, please allow 4-10 weeks (depending on current strut body inventory).

Remote reservoirs provide an improvement in damper performance and adjustability, particularly in the ability to handle bumps and curbing on a track. However, they significantly complicate the installation as the hoses must be securely routed and the canisters mounted to the body of the car, and additional (large) holes may need to be drilled to pass the canisters through, depending on where you choose to mount them.

Spring Rates and Valving

The standard valving on these dampers will handle spring rates of approximately 200 lb/in to 800lb/in front, and 400lb/in to 1000lb/in rear using the built in adjustment. The exception to that is the 4 way dampers which have less adjustment range, allowing for more fine tuning around a chosen spring rate.

I have found that a spring rate ratio of about F/R=.75 to be ideal for the MR2, and the standard spring rate options reflect that. However custom spring rates are available on request.
