Regarding question about bilsteins and wide rims, I am running a 17X10 just fine, but it is close.

 

i just got mine installed this weekend - i tried 8k/10k config - very nice then i tried a 8k/8k config and holy crap it's freaking awesome - think original blistien and shock conformance but FULLY ADJUSTABLE - they are worth EVERY penny

 

Glad you're loving your set Pao! The Ohlins really are worth it as they do everything very well.

Ordered a set for my X today. F 10k/ R 12K, Im excited to get them in!.

Thanks Myles and Andrew.

 

Awesome! Let us know what you think. We have a good set-up guide pdf with damper, alignment, ride height recommendations that will be emailed to you by Carol.

Ok Andrew, will be looking for the email. I will def. let you know what I think, cause these will actually be installed on the car.

 

Thanks Andrew - you guys/gals are the best

 

They are discontinued now
that bieng said, gtworx has some 2-way ttx dampers for 5900$.

Can you custom valve them to some swift 8/9 kg springs?

 

Correct, the older DFV is now the R&T and what we have been selling. These new ones are still sometimes referred to as DFV's although that's not technically correct, but they still use the dual flow valve technology. Just have a few improvements over the previous Japanese DFV models.

The names have changed slightly as different technology makes it's way into the coilover and a few other things. I believe it went R&T, PCV, DFV, and now R&T again. Could be wrong. Either way, we only sell the latest models from Ohlins USA.

I just wanted to add how amazed I was at the ride comfort and performance the R&T gave me...
It jus totally transformed the car from when I had teins monoflex!

Going over bumps, it doesn't feel like my rib cage is gonna snap, and so far no knocking noise.

Best money spent

 

When driving highway speed over uneven roads, do you ever get airborn out of your seat?

 

I feel that it's settled in slightly and the bumps are getting a bit more obvious

As for highway speed, I only really get to those speeds on the highway, and any little holes are fine.
Don't think I've been airbourne outta my seat, except when leaving a carpark and the road just dipped infront of me and was going a tad fast!!

 

IMO DFVs are especially awesome over big bumps and dips, much better than any setups i've had in the past thanks in no small part to their excellent low [piston] speed damping characteristics.

ride quality is much like power i think - the more you're exposed to it, the less you appreciate it. my advice is, go take a ride in cars with lesser suspension setups and the second you get back into your car, its going to feel much better. our highly adaptable buttocks are to blame here

and no, i never get airborne from my seat

 

BOTH R&T and DFV ARE DISCONTINUED!!!!

 

Where did u get that information? We have quite a few sets going on cars
