CBRD Rocks. Ohlin's Road & Track Coilover Installation

Big thanks to Chad and crew at CBRD. Drove out to York Thursday morning. Chad set me up with a great set of Ohlins Road & Track Coilovers. Installation went really fast. Went to get the alignment and balancing done, but a pretty nasty storm front moved in and delayed us a little. You know it's bad when your big **** metal flag pole is bending big time.

The next day drove 260 miles home. I must say that they ride as good if not better than stock suspension. Car seem to handle/steer much better than the stock suspension. That was a positive since the car will still be more of a street car than a dedicated track car.

Hope to get a few testing sessions next week to get some track time with them. Hope to get a more in depth review.

So again, a big thanks to CBRD for a great experience and hope to work with them in the future.

Thanks for the kind words!

glad you like them, and glad we could help!

it was also nice to get an FP black on our dyno so we could see how it really spools

Maybe when you get closer to completion on the BBK XL, I could come done and we could do a direct swap to get some back to back comparisons.

black made 360's at 27psi on our dyno, I believe it made 380's at BR, but it was pretty warm when we ran it.

Thanks chad. Couldn't find my dyno sheet anywhere. Looks like 369whp was the highest. Coilovers are still running great. Could you send me the camber used on each?

Thanks
