I really dont understand why Ohlin cant accept they are wrong in something as simple as this. And its not like its a new thing, its been 10 years or more and the MR takes like less than an hour to measure.
They also screwed up pretty bad on the Ohlin flags with their canister locating pin breaking on nearly EVERYONES sets. The guys I talk to that don't know about the pin issue usually check and don't have one anymore. And then others Ive talked to tell me of the broken canisters they've had to have repaired. It was an easy enough fix with a little bit of thinking but they just aren't interested in going back and revising their parts unless it means cost reducing them (see current R&Ts vs the previous DFVs).

I thought R&T = DFV?

I recently bought a set of Ohlins DFV and contacted the company to make sure that the spring go in the order of 8/10 as i read in the forum. However their response was much differentthan what i expected.
Hello,And thanks for your message.We recommend the 100N in the front and 80N in the rear.The Motion Ratio of the Car is nearly the same front and rear.You have more weight in the Front so to have a solid balancedBase I would go this way.I guess that some people change the Springs to change the Balance to oversteering.Because it´s an 4x4 with some weight in the front axle. This cars are normallymore in the understeering way.So my question is, what is the motion ratio front and rear. Do most users install it in the "wrong" way? Is the company (Ohlins) ignorant in regards to the product it sells? Is it something different?. I am really confused.

Could be a little bit of liability-avoidance in the response, too.
