Re: Ohlins suspensions
ohlins can customise a set of coilover just according to the driver? can i ask if its customise settings or the entire set?
thanks..

Speak with them if you wish to go deeper.. From what I know, they can customise a set fits your driving lifestyle.
MTL (as ac323 always say) Cheers ~~

I may be wrong thus best is to speak with them. Last known is close to 15k for a customise set for Swift Sports.
But Supan always drive max 3k rpm.......

Re: Ohlins suspensions
supan what r u driving? this is serious $ stuff. oem for lambos. what r u after? u buy this assuming money no object. otherwise its better off with one of those KW clubsport stuff.
the ohlins r specially designed for very high temp use. high loads from cornering Gs. + actuators.
do u really need them?

Re: Ohlins suspensions
the straight answer is no. unless u r cornering n braking under serious loads...which in that case...with better rubber and a top notch suspension + suspension joint etc...u will warped ur chasis in no time if u r driving that way...
but to hao lian....its always worth it if u hv the money.

Re: Ohlins suspensions
that's why I say if u r cruising aroun...then u dun need this.
last time when I first started tracking...everyone wanted semi slicks or full slicks...cos they push time down. there were a few friends who did that...but I always thought I wanted to modify driver first...so I never did.
one day I sawan acquaintance car who tracked more than anyone else. his bonnet lines ngaps cudnt close.....the tires he tracked on gave him so much lateral grip that his chasis had warped. the tires r made to corner high G forces....but the car chasis cudnt keep up. that's the logic.

Re: Ohlins suspensions
they prob are quite strong now....but prolonged track use on racing tires n suspension will eventually twist ur cars chasis. I think any of those bilsteins ke clubs sports shud work. im just telling u to save money..if u dun drive like u r racing whole day...go for ohlins...if no object.
also explaining to u why they r expensive....strong. cant take heat from engine bay..etc...way more than we need in normal road cars.
to add....if I modify road cars again for some track use....in my life. in the following order.
1. lighter wheels. 2. suspension. 3 brakes. 4. exos for sound....no touching of engine.

Re: Ohlins suspensions
Thanks senior guide.
On prodrive rims, brembo gt 6/4, Fmic, cp, performance exos so now need a decent suspension b4 going for m3 undercarriage.
I go for a depth comparison for the basic ohlins vs kw v3 then decide.
Thanks a million for the guide.
