Not perfectly round spring seat pictured below

J&M camber/caster plates

Intake removed to fish in the sway bar.

Hey everyone, I finally got to installing my new Ohlins DFV coils from J&M hotpart.com Forgive me if this is unorganized as im using my phone to post.
First we started by removing the old BC’s.
Then installed the sway bars and then the coilovers.
One thing to note when buying these Ohlins is that the rear spring seats are not perfectly round from the factory due to manufacturing tolerances from Ford, so we had to notch the Ohlins spring cup a bit.
Another thing worth mentioning is to make sure your endlinks are set up correctly in order to avoid rubbing on anything.


All work was done at Garage54 Inc in Glendale.

‍updates?

Ok, guys I FINALLY got some time on my hands for an update on the Öhlins.
Ride quality:
Very comfortable on the street paired with a new set of Firestone Firehawk Indy500 (275/40/18) wrapped around Apex Ec-7’s 18x10
The ride quality is stiffer than stock all the while being more forgiving over bumps and potholes.
Steering response is way more crisp and precise.

Through canyon driving the car is very predictable and easy to control. No weird over or understeer issues at all.
Body roll has been reduced immensely most likely
Due to the steeda sway bars but Im sure the Ohlins also take part in that department.

WAS IT WORTH $3,500?
ABSOLUTELY

Not only are the Öhlins dampers quite amazing and well worth the money. But just the fact that I get bragging rights (LOL) being able to say that the car is equipped with world class dampers is a good feeling. The build quality along with the drive quality both add up to be well worth the price tag.


DISCOUNT CODE
If you also want a set of these don’t forget to Order them from J&M Hotpart.com and take advantage of a nice forum discount code “mustang6g” you can also choose your custom Hyperco Spring rates and they will valve the dampers to spec and include a dyno sheet.



Overall im very pleased with the Ohlins system and highly recommend them to anybody who likes to go fast in the twisty’s.
First review ever here so forgive me if it wasn’t too great im happy to answer any question any of you may have! Thanks for reading
