Front 90NM/mm
Rear 140 NM/mm
I think that is around what 500/800 or so

I drive around some of the Hamptons windy rear roads, a private windy housing estate and do some straight away sprints

I will probably track later at Pocono but their course is quite basic so I will not need stiffer rates I think

I did this y'day, edited down 30 mins into 3

Sounds like you are on the standard springs that come with the kit as I am too. My question is about the stiffness of the adjustable dampening, how many clicks off full stiff front and rear?

Tuxiemama

2 clicks

I should add that aprt from the 3 roads I do my pulls on all of the roads in and around me 30 miles either way are CRUD, bumpy, pot holed pieces of crap so I could go to less stiff settings but I like the cornering now... I did get very scared at high speed when I had to round a slight bend and hit some uneven marked road and got a little squiggly but my main problem is the 5 yr old Potenzas on my car not the Ohlins.

After a few months I will do a detailed honest assessment of my car and mods etc

I have been running on 25 clicks from full soft to give the springs a bit of a workout to make sure all settling is done before I go in for another alignment and have been scraping a bit on random dips, I would probably recommend 14 clicks from full stiff which was what I was running on when I picked the car up from the installer. I am going to the track next week and will report back again!

mldgman

full stiff I mean

Tuxiemama

Thx, very harsh on the terrible roads in hamptons on my settings

Another track report: Took the car back to the track and I ran the front at full stiff and the rears at 2 clicks from full stiff and it performed well, but I still experienced a lot of body roll. I will perhaps tighten up the sways, but I am still with the guy a few pages back that suggested a stiffer spring. I will live with the current setup as I am not into taking the car apart to swap the springs and valving but would recommend this before anyone starts the process the first time around.

I told you guys. I know people don't wanna hear it, but if you have a high end shock, you can go with much stiffer springs if they can valve the shocks for them. I'm at 1400/1500 and it's still very streetable. If it was track only, I'd be on 1700/1800. I have a set of 1100/1200 with only one track weekend on them if you wanna go stiffer. Those were great on the street.

I would not run the shock at either the full stiff or soft end of the spectrum. I've been told by several good sources that the shock looses efficiency at the extreme end of the adjustment range.

Thx Powdrhound - I will adjust down a bit then

running my tires at 34.5 front and 42 rear to make a little softer ride around town

bcrdukes, you are probably the only one on this thread who bought the Ohlins who, like me, doesn't have a tt. Can you share your experience? I'm particularly interested in how the street ride quality compares to stock. (And if would be helpful if you could let us know whether your stock suspension was standard, or M030, or ... .)

Thanks!

bcrdukes

rs10,

I replied to your PM but in case you miss it, I never ended up getting them. Sorry!

rs10

OK, thanks in any case for letting us know!

powdrhound, what spring manufacturer do you recommend for the uprated springs? I am looking to so some autox/de and street. Would the 1100/1200 lb springs do well for that, or should I look for even higher still?

Thanks!
