Ohlins Coilovers

[400HP]

Does anyone know anything about these? What sort of comfort/performance do they have?

what adjustments do they offer?

400HP,

As usual with most coil-overs they come in variety of different types from stiff to very stiff, and some with bound and rebound adjustment. They use these on V8 supercars and other high performance racers. They are extremely well made, but just buy them for a purpose, not just to lower the car.

I have full racing coil-overs in mine, which are very stiff on the road, but excellent at high speed cornering.

See'ya :burnout:

I have a set on my 'line. I personally think they are awesome. Not harsh kidneybelt material. I haven't tried them on the track - a few more mods before I head down that street, so to speak. Roadholding is excellent, height adjustable via a circlip type setup, adjust in about 5mm increments (I haven't acutally measured them). There is a damper adjustment on the rears -mine is set to four for general street driving and that seems to work fine. I do believe that they are a bit rare on street cars 'cause new they are around 1g a corner, though I got mine alot cheaper second hand. To sum up, I am very, very happy

Does anyone know a website for all the models?

Steve - Do you know which model yours is and do you mind me asking how much 2nd hand they cost you?

[Steve]

I'm sorry, I dont know what model they are. I got mine for $1300 in what can only be described as excellent condition - bought them through a tuning shop but that price was alot cheaper than normal 'cos I have been dealing with them for a while. Another thing with Ohlins is that they can be rebuilt in Aust, so it might be worth checking out how much for a full rebuild, as you can pick up Ohlins for alot less than what I paid. I have seen examples for as little as $900 in the for sale section on this site.

Edit: try www.ohlins.com

A decent suspension shop should be able to help you out. If in WA try Wilkinson suspension.
