We got what we wanted and we just became an Ohlins dealer. However, Ohlins is out of stock for another 2-3 weeks. At which time they are hoping to lower prices a bit more due to some changes in their supply chains. So everyone (not just us) is on hold now. It would be easy to post up pricing info now but I think it would only be valid for another 2-3 weeks.

Does this setup work just as well with EVOs with the front LSD? I don't know much about suspension setups but I have talked to a couple different tuner shops and have heard from one local shop that they recommend going softer in the rear for front LSD cars.

 

its fine dont worry.

 

I guess I am not really worried. Just curious what the reasoning is behind there softer spring rates in the front setup.

 

This is a very good question and should not be dismissed. There should be a difference for LSD and non LSD setups. You all may dissagree but...

 

Not to worry guys we have run them on cars with all the usual diff combos. We have done a lot of R&D miles both on the road and of course on the track. We are not basing our set-ups on what anyone else has done or is doing. We started with a "clean sheet of paper" and developed everything with a very methodical scientific approach. They are "our" set-ups developed as a complete package.

If you put a complete package on we can supply you with all the information needed and take every bit of the guesswork out on your part. I think the results can speak for themselves (OLA, Supertuner, American Touge II..all cars with front LSDs BTW)

IMO one of the reasons people try to sell you the lower rear spring rates is so they can also sell you a rear sway bar.

Edit: the better you cars suspension works the LESS you need LSDs because they will not be as necessary. Why you ask? because the inside tires are not as unloaded (which is what creates the need for the LSD in the first place). Don't get me wrong I love em' but with a good handling car they are not going to make as big a difference as a car with stock levels of roll.

 

Funny you mention that... the place that recommends the lower spring rates just so happens to sell their own sway bar.

 

bumpy road for updates

 

So can we get a ball park?

 

Just a guess, but I'll bet the struts with custom valving, custom springs, camber plates for front, mounts for the rear, and bushings will end up costing around $3400.

 

sounds about right.

 

I don't need a long explaination.......I live in the heart of salt and snow country MN....sometimes you can't even tell my car is red...I am considering the Ohlins set up and the Bilstein set up...how hard is it going to be on the Ohlins setup vs Bilstein setup?

 

The Ohlins seem to be lasting well on Paul's car out here in CO.
They have been tested on our crappy roads and this includes the wonderful Mag-Chloride they use in Boulder instead of salt which is even more of a catalyst for rust.

BTW -- His car is generally a flat brown color and not silver (unless it rains)

 

Off the shelf, aren't the regular R&T's going for about $2400. Mueller has his listed at $2700 with custom springs and valving, but no plates.
