Best shocks for an 01 ACR

[Paulb7546]

I have a 2001 ACR and one of the shocks went bad ,so I wanna replace all four. I was wondering what the best replacement shocks are?

Easy, for best performance buy a set of Motons. I personally know they work great on the 2001 ACR (choice of PMUM)

Another vote for Motons. I have Penske's on the street car and they don't last well. The Motons on the track car are awesome...rebuilt 5 years ago - been through hell - and work perfectly.

Are you going to use it for the track or just street driving? Track Motons or Penske. Street driving, get a set of Blue Koni stockers. All the same from 1996-2002.

I didn't even think of that, my mind is totally track orientated

Mostly street driving so how are the Motons for day to day driving? How much? and Where do i get them?

+1 for stock konis. I auto-x my car and have absolutely no complaints. The Konis should also last longer than anything else you could install.

I did not know that Motons were still available for the Gen 2 ?

 

[plumcrazy]

if street driving, get a set of regular gen2 shocks. forget the ACR shocks, they are a PIA

 

[azvipermike]

i put blue stockers on my ACR much better for the street

And buying them I assume from Dodge (Chuck) ?

We had 1 of the stockers leaking (they are known to leak) on our 2001 GTS ACR. We sent it off to have it rebuilt; looking at the cost of replacing the shocks vs rebuilding the price.

 

[plumcrazy]

chuck if buying new or a lot of the tuners have takeoffs from time to time. i got mine from DLM

i have a 2002 gts with stock shocks and id like to have a little firmer suspension. is there anything out there that isnt thousands of dollars that would be an upgrade from stock?
(not trying to hijack, just figured its close enough to the topic)

I have Penske 8300's on my 01 ACR and love them, however they are definitely not a cheap option.

Watching the thread closely as my two drivers side shocks I see have gone.....

Call Erik at EMI Racing. He is regardes as the best in the business and have a solution between stock and Penske/Moton $$.
If you have ACR (Koni or Dynamics) he can reburbish them, improve them and revalve them to your liking. Send greetings from another CA B/W GTS!

The nice thing about the adjustable options (moton/penske) is just that, you can adjust them in literally 30 seconds. So if you're up for the expenditure, even for street use you can dial in a nice ride for a trip or firm it up for slamming exit ramps. Absolutely not necessary but nice to have. For the track, its much more important.

Stockers for the street. Penske for the track.
