Ohlins R/T question

Sup guys just had a question, need more info if possible.
Going to be buying some Ohlins R/T's for my 2014 Evo MR here soon from MAP and was going to pick up the Vorshlag Mitsubishi Evo X Camber/Caster Plates & Perches. What im trying to find out is, does anyone know the spring perch size on the R/T's? I need to run the Vorshlag Perches so i need to either order the 2.5's 2.25's or 60mm spring perches..

Thanks for your time and hope to hear from you soon

for street drive and light rack use the stock top mounts are absolutely perfect. And quiet most quiet ones + never looses the position either.
But that is just my opinion. Spring rates , you better off if you talk and ask Ohlins service about that.

I've been running Ohlins since 2011, haven't had any problems with them and the ride is very good for a coilover setup. You're making a good choice with these. My spring rates are: Front 515 lbs/in; Rear 572 lbs/in if that helps you out at all.

EVL, i was just wondering which option you had selected for the strut style?
There is an R&T on the list i can see, but when i spoke to vorshlag, they mentioned there as DFV too?
Both very similar but have slighly different lengths?

These are the ohlins i have

Also, spring ID should 65mm or 2.5" from factory as confirmed by Vorshlag

Sorry, if this is a stupid question, but why can't you use Ohlins R/T Camber plate? It comes with one already. I measured it with caliper, and it is indeed 65mm.

You should just consider getting a set of MCS 1 way, with vorshlag camber plates and hyperco springs http://www.vorshlag.com/shocks.php

Give Vorshlag a call and tell them your goals and see what they suggest.

P.S. By the time you get Ohlins R&T, swap out the camber plates, and add custom springs you will have spent MCS 1 way type money anyways. Imo, MCS > R&T, even on the street (yes the damping is that good).
