Ohlins Road & Track

[Evolution]

Update.
Got them on yesterday but just the fronts for now. I had the orientation of the link mounts exactly the opposite as @Oodis said to have it. I never put my stock links on after i installed them and took it straight to corner balance/ alignment. Adjusted the orientation and everything lined up nicely. All that's left is to somehow get my car to fit on my lifts at work so I can properly adjust length. Drove it around though and seem good but man these are noisy lol. Thanks again everyone.



The organizer i'm with is doing Big Willow on June 9th. I was actually going to post about it and future events we host in the Cali section. I came across your YT chan and saw that youre in the sub2 club, meanwhile i'm slighly faster than shitty lol.

Glad you got it all together! But it shouldnt be noisy. They should be as quiet as stock. Something doesnt sound right there.

Yep made it in the sub 2 club! Did the same for Chuckwalla and LVMS. You can join me now that you have good suspension. I instruct on track if you need help there too. Wont be able to make it to Big Willow since I will be at Spring Mountain the weekend before that. Then summer break until Laguna Seca. Thinking about Streets of Willow on 5-12 but havent decided yet.

For those of you with the Vorshlag camber plates and Ohlin R&T, how are you dealing with the negative preload?

I can ask my shop, since I’ll be going in (off season) anyway. My car was inherently lower on my square 275/35-18 setup. No more tire rub and the car feels great. I was looking for more specifics to your question, but only came up with these:

Hope it helps until I take her in or find out more. Work weekend and F1

is the swift helper spring suppose to be on the top or the bottom of the main swift spring for the rear setup?

I recently installed the mentioned setup and placed the helper below the main spring for both front and rear, but as I understand, it effectively does not matter whether it's above or below the main spring.

Gotcha, that's what my shop did as well.

Did you set your car back to OEM height or near oem height? and are you running 18" wheels too?

When we initially put the car down after installing the struts, swift springs and helper springs with spl & verkline supporting pieces. The rear end was so low we raised the springs in the rear relatively close to 14.5" from center of wheel center cap to the edge of the fender. The front end is around 14.0" give or take.

This is what it looks like

My measurements of center to fender are approximately the same as what you have, however I'm running a different wheel setup:
19x9.5 275/30
19x11 305/30
I currently have a two finger gap between tire and fender on both front and rear.

Hello everyone

Is it possible to have the ohlins at wtock ride height. I am looking to improve on the suspension quality without lower the ride height. There are a lot of speed bumps in my area and I don’t want to scrape the car or go over at an angle.

Thanks

Absolutely. Our cars are inherently low. But they are height adjustable.
