Default MCA Shocks

Has anyone tried these new shocks from a company out of Austrailia? https://mcasuspension.com/suspension
A guy I know who occasionally tracks his 370Z has them and from what I have heard they are very good. He has the Reds.

A lot of good general technical information on the site for sure, but I dont see any meat and potatoes around their valving. Most manufacturers make it a point to call out how they achieve their damping as a way to sell. Not even a diagram or if they are twin or monotube.

If they are sponsoring thats one thing, but unless there is good feedback in Australia and stateside support id have to ask myself why?

From what I saw on the site you discuss with them your vehicle specifications such as spring rates and they custom valve the shocks according to your information.

They have a good video showing a technician assembling a set of shocks per a custom build sheet.

Application specific damping forces, bodies and hardware are great, but still need to know more about the architecture of the actual construction and valving. Why dont you email them and ask?

We use them on my friends 350z that I co drive in SCCA Solo STU class. They are pretty amazing. I'd put them up there with high end shocks like JRZs.

That is what makes me interested. They may be close to or as good as JRZ for half the price.

So I'm a dumbass. We had MCS suspension out of Georgia, not MCA out of Australia. Doh. At any rate the MCS is the guy from Moton & AST. So expect similar performance from MCS as Moton or AST. I can't say anything about MCA.
