MM Coronavirus Update

We’re changing our phone hours to 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Pacific Time (Monday-Friday, excluding holidays) so we have more time to process orders and get them out to you.

Please be aware
Our supply chain is suffering major pandemic-related disruptions. Many of our suppliers shut down for a time, and like us are operating with reduced manpower. Meanwhile, demand for MM products has skyrocketed. Thank you! We’re a small company and we regret our website isn’t fancy enough to inform you of back orders when you buy something. Please understand that we’re working as fast as we can to fill your orders.

UPS Shipping Times As of March 24, UPS no longer guarantees the shipping time for any shipment. i.e., expect shipping time to lengthen.

Adjustable vs. non-adjustable dampers

To Adjust, or not to Adjust...

While adjustable struts and shocks can offer a competitive edge to some racers, that same adjustability can be a drawback to others, because of the high skill level required to correctly tune adjustable dampers. To properly adjust shock damping requires the sensitivity and skills of a seasoned test driver, which are far different skills than those required of a race driver. The non-adjustability of the MM and Bilstein dampers is precisely what can make them preferable to adjustable struts and shocks; you are able to concentrate on your driving, rather than on how to tune your struts and shocks.
