I will be mighty tempted on a 250mJ CDI COP setup in the future!

I'm interested in a review of the Ohlin's coilovers. After a few years of ownership are you still happy wit them? Is there height adjustment range adequate for a true street / track car?

Have you driven anything with better handling and comfort in the suspension department in the time since you bought them?

While I have not owned everything myself I have had the opportunity to drive LOTS of cars fitted with all the big brands inc race stuff made here in Australia and my own opinion is nothing is better than the Ohlins, my car is a street car #1 and used as such, the suspension is perfect for that and good enough on track too.

Spring rate and damper settings are spot on, very comfortable with zero bottoming at full pace, cant ask for anything more.

I like them anyway.

When you say Race stuff made here in Australia are you talking about MCA race series suspension? The high end ohlins sound awesome. Can you give an indication of height in mm to front and rear guard and roughly where you are in terms of bottom perch adjustment? Do yours have helper springs front and rear?

Proflex mainly

ride height is legal 100mm of ground at lowest point is how I set it up.
Car can be jacked higher or much lower, just depends how much pre load on springs, all 4 have helper.

When I was in NSW I did a blue slip inspection with my Ohlins in and set to factory ride height spec for the SP.

Then changed it to minimum legal height.

Obviously you are increasing the flow area significantly when you move the opening edge out and lift the closing edge of the port, have you ever keyed and back filled the port bowl with resin or even welded/brazed to try to maintain the runner area a bit more consistent right up to the rotor face?

RICE RACING 03-16-2015 01:16 AM

I am not sure how much benefit it would be, if you look at these angles at largest rotor opening, it still has to force its way through? not sure how much gain would happen with it.

I did mess around with that exact thing you are talking about on some 2 stroke racing engines I was preparing and it did work on those well.
