Ohlins' Adjustable Coil-Over Kits Are In Stock At J&M / hotpart.com

Here you go. We are waiting on the springs that Ohlins' wants us to run to try them out. Looks like these are setup to be a great street / autocross setup. If you want to road race with them we will need to re-valve the front rebound side.

Rear

For someone who doesn’t currently understand these graphs, why would the front need revalved? Kinda silly these are called road and “track” not road and autocross lol

A quick update on what's happening with these kits. We have been working with Ohlins' on the spring rates and shock valving. Most likely all the kits moving forward will have a front spring rate of 40 N/mm (219 lb/in) and a rear rate of 160 N/mm (915 lb/in). They are also planning on re-valving all the front struts and rear shocks to the new spring rates with the ability for the struts and shocks to handle up to a 500 lb/in in the front and 1300 lb/in in the rear.

We are now also selling these as a package with our patented camber/caster plates along with re-valved struts and shocks with just about any Hyperco spring rate you may want.

Yeah and I hear they were out running them at MSR-C last few days.

From what I know, Ohlins is a divorced spring/shock setup just like stock. And I know for a fact that Vorshlag is highly critical of non true coilover setups. What made them go to Ohlins now? Hmm...

Pretty sure it's because putting the spring on the damper takes space away from adding wheel and tire width on the inside. More wheel & tire > technically "better" spring location. I don't think the S550 was the first car to bring this situation to their attention.
