One per shock. It sells you a set of 2 in 1 order which is a lot cheaper than most that only sells you 1 set per order. You only need one set per shock. So if you buy 2 of them, you'll get a total of 4, which should be enough for all 4 corners. The reviews on Summit Racing looks good.

The one I listed has an ID of 2.5". Most folks who have Ohlins DFVs and run custom rate springs usually buy Eibach/Hyperco/Swift 2.5" ID springs with 8" length to substitute the weird custom rates/size that Ohlins sells with the shocks (which is very very close to 2.5" ID, 8" length).

 

Gonna order a set. Good stuff.

 

So, who's right here?

I just ordered a pair of them yesterday, assuming that'd I'd be ok in running 1 per coilover up front. Is running two (one at the top and bottom) necessary?

Thanks guys!

 

one per spring is enough.. no need for more.. just dunk it in heavy grease to prevent corosion...

 

Yeah, only need one per spring.

 

I'll be the voice of dissent only because the instructions for the swifts I got show 2 are needed per spring. But mine are different from those pictured. I also dont know if the ones posted before are sold in pairs, which is likely.

 

Those don't look like an actual Torrington bearing. Just a thrust washer. Could be why they say to use two.

 

Gotcha

 

I threw the Torrington bearings on the front coilovers today that I ordered from Amazon for like $34 bucks (for 2). They work like a charm. No more coil bind.

It's pretty crazy, one of the springs basically ground itself into the spring perch. It was literally stuck to the perch so I had to use some force to get it free. I'm glad I did this sooner than later.

 

curious - link? any impact on drivability?

 

These are what I went with. Price is $38.95 so I was a little off there.


Absolutely no effect on drivability what so ever. Coilovers are quiet as can be, no popping and no binding to where it was pulling the steering wheel either left or right, depending on which direction you turned last!

I do want to clarify. When I first got these, the 2 washers that are placed above and below the Torrington bearing, fit the Ohlins collar just fine. The Torrington bearing itself was an extremely SNUG fit, in which I had to really force it on the spring perch. At first I was like, "these are not going to fit". But after a little force just using my hands, they fit on just fine. Just keep that in mind if you order them!

 

these just go on the top and bottom of each spring? got any pics of how it's installed? really hate the thought of taking my suspension apart for the billionth time, but seems like it could be a worthwhile add for me. I get some pops from the suspension at extreme/fast steering angles - I assumed it was remnants of the power steering line fiasco I've had before, but I can at least knock this out too. does it impact the ride height at all? as in, will I need to compensate for the car riding higher/lower after these are added?

 

Just emailed you back but should just be one per spring on the top just in the front.

As for ride height I guess technically it'll raise the ride height as much as it is thick. But I guess just drop the lower perch down some so you have the same preload as prior and it should end up the same. That last part is sorta a guess but makes sense in my head. Or just dont worry about it!

I might have to pick up a set as well but dont care to pull the suspension apart right now as my car was literally just realigned so I shall wait...

 

wanted to confirm: just 1 purchase of this https://www.summitracing.com/parts/upi-7917-101 to cover the two front springs? I think my ohlins dfv fits these, anyone else confirm it's on their ohlins?

nvm, see from the top of this page that that's correct.

 

I'm going to report you to a mod.
