this is the Internet. By definition we are expected to overreact. But good advice nonetheless.
If it was only one side yes but both sides have some oil on them though to be fair I did have a trans oil leak when put them on and drove them with it for some time so it might be just that but both sides. Is a bit much. Will get them clean and let you guys know.
Thanks for the info. I'd consider adding more camber if I go for bigger tires, good to know you were able to fit the 305s.I run 305/30/19 square with the Ohlins no problem. The Ohlins strut nut sit's lower than the top of the strut opening which give me extra 1 degree of camber for -3.2 so the 305/30's are nicely tucked in under the fenders. I run them on an ET26 Apex SM-10 19x11. Hope this helps.
However after the first track day both my front Ohlins have oil on them on the outside so not sure if this is just my set or just that's the quality you get. They still ride good but it's concerning.
mine probably is combination of poor roads and 305s that overheat the brake pads. Yours will probably be better but let us know how the inspection goes.
@bnightstar finally got a chance to look at the coilovers after my second track day with them.
They looks much better than mine for sure. What settings you are using for them ?
At 7 clicks the car was really hard to stop for me even at stop lights I'm way softer than 10 as well.
Oh sorry, I think yours might be stiffer because you have the 515lbs/800lbs version, mine are the stock version from Ohlins.
the 515/800 lbs is the stock version from Ohlins. I'm currently on +10/+8 front/rear from full soft (26 clicks) so this mean -16 and -18 against the from factory -7. I'm asking mostly because I will be searching for some middle ground though at the moment on track the car is mindblowing in terms of performance but still a lot on the soft side of things. I did -7 on a mountain road and was fun but the car was having troubles in braking as it was skipping. Definitely need a test and tune day to find the right settings.
