Anyone local to MA/RI… looking to piece together enough suspension to keep car a roller while I wait for parts to arrive. Springs, shocks, upper mounts. This allows me to sell the Ohlins while I wait… cash flow you hear.

Anyone local want to let me borrow if they have laying around ?

I know it’s a stretch but don’t het if you don’t ask.

Thanks to Yaz I’m going to be pulling the ohlins setup off the car on Sunday.

Before I list to the site, I figured I’d give anyone that follows here first dibs.

My intent is to sell the setup as turnkey, literally take out your stock stuff and bolt my setup on. These parts are a foundation for what can be a very capable track car that you can still drive on the street.

I’d be happy to do the install with the buyer if located within a reasonable distance.

Price is $3200 plus actual shipping cost and includes (new pricing for reference):

Ohlins struts POZMI00 ($3190) https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ohlins-p...a/pozmi00~ohl/
Swift Springs Z65-203-140 and Z70-203-090 ($361.60)
Remote Adjusters REAR 24633-01 x2, 24633-02 x2, 24631-03 x2, 24632-01 x2($241)
Elephant camber plates FRONT 2152205 ($590)
Stock ohlins springs
Stock rear upper mounts

I was pretty torn about selling these, they have provided me results that in my opinion, allowed the car to punch outside it’s weight class, the car was often among the faster cars at most track days despite being pretty underpowered. I ultimately decided, nothing ventured, nothing gained and to progress as I plan, a more Motorsports oriented suspension capable of dealing with very high spring rates and a much greater level of adjustability are needed. The beautiful thing about the ohlins, I basically never adjusted them. I started the season close to full soft and about half way through the season went to almost full stuff and never touched it again. If you want set and forget, my opinion is the ohlins definitely qualify.

I’ll give it a couple days for anyone here before I list. Will have detailed pics of the actual parts on Sunday for anyone interested.

Thanks Man ! Thats nice to say. I am excited to get them on your car and happy they will live on with a good owner here on the forums. They really did treat me so good and I expect they will do you the same.

i second that. I had my friction with him at the beginning but the more i got into rennlist, saw his videos and stuff, I feel completely different about it (never judge a book by it’s cover). I would love to spend a day watching him race, help in whatever I could and then caping it off by barbecue, grilling some meats, and a bunch of cold beers 🍻.
