No, not discontinued. We've been waiting on sets for a while now but they are coming slowly. The naming of everything changed a couple times so maybe that's what he means. In any case, single adjustable monotube Ohlins with dual height adjustment are still available, whatever the current name of them is. Ohlins USA doesn't have any in right now, but they are coming (and then we'll have some).

quit yelling. i remember how you were talking crap about ASTs in this one thread and got your post deleted. don't you learn?

i drove my buddy's Supra TT yesterday with some brand new hipermax IIIs and they were a lot harsher than i expected. loved my friend's TiCs (ASTs) in his STI though. why japanese/tawainese companies can't figure out a proper ride/handling compromise is beyond me

I love my Ohlins R&T coilovers. Ride quality is about as good or better than the stock MR suspension I had. Well worth the cost.

Ohlins are faaaar from the lightest but honestly you can see that in there overly beefy construction. They are meant to take abuse and last. Some of your other "lighter" options wont take near the track punishment.

I would say 90% of the reason I still have my evo after 4yrs is my CBRD Ohlins really make the car that good.

More internet made up bs (above) proven untrue:

Muellerized Ohlins Road & Track available

I attached the pictures posted for those who aren't on SoCalEvo. Text below:

"Yet another example of internet nonsense (the discontinued claim) dispelled with the below pictures. We just received today (note the shipping date) what we believe are the only Evo 8/9 and Evo X Ohlins in the country. Evo X is going to Tahiti (we build and ship suspension and do remote setup/adjustments all over the world) and I just sold 1 of the 2 Evo 8/9 suspensions (it's going to Idaho) just now. Only one Evo 8/9 suspension left. We are working on getting even more."

Very curious about the Muellerized Ohlins R&T. Does anyone have any specific info or review?

Sorry not trying to be off topic!
