Vishnu/Gerrard Ohlins Setup Instructions Needed

Vishnu/Paul Gerrard/Joe Henry had a set of instructions they sent out with their Ohlins. It's a 4 page document with recommended setup; ride height, preload, click settings for street tire/slicks, recommended alignment settings, etc.

I need a copy of this document! I know only a couple sets made it into the hands of consumers and many of them aren't on this forum anymore since it was back in the day.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a copy. In fact, this is the suspension set-up that I still use in my track car. Works great!

Send me a pm with your email address. I'll scan it and send you a copy.

Thanks Kevin - good info on the slick setup. Hopefully tsi90awd has the street tire setup as that's what I run in Autocross (couldn't be bothered changing tires all the time) and am trying to keep the car as streetable as possible.

I emailed Vishnu since they originally sold them, and they had no idea what I was talking about...how quickly they forget the Evo world!

I don't think that the instructions I have are specifically oriented to street or R tires. It seems pretty general. I didn't know that there was another set of set-up instructions out there. I'd be interested in getting a copy of those.

It's good to know that Vishnu doesn't care. I was a bit concerned about stepping on toes there by distributing the set-up info, but apparently they don't care.

I use my car for HPDEs and autocrosses. I really like the suspension system and the set-up. The ride height specs are especially useful. The handling is neutral and easy to control in high speed corners.

I won't have access to a scanner until tomorrow.

I used mine for autox and track. I agree its a very good setup, and very well balanced. Each click is very effective also. I've always only had to change 1-3 clicks up or down to notice a difference in handling.

Would you guys mind just posting this to the forum? It'd be a really interesting datapoint for everyone.

Thanks!
