Ohlins Stage II, III Ride Height settings

What are the height settings that you recommend for these 2 systems? I.e. wheel center to fender distance or how much more gap in the front than the rear. I'm running your the Ohlins R/T with 450F 400R rates.. I am redoing my alignment and replacing bushings for up coming track events this weekend. Sorry I live to far away from you gouys to go to your shop. Thank you for your help, if you would prefer, PM me the specifications.

Well what I mean is depends on his spring rates. Also depends on his ofset rims. My car doesn't rub anywhere but on the lefthander after the corkscrew at laguna. So drop it until it rubs then crank it up until it doesnt. I currently have 450 front 500 rear.

Ohlins ride height numbers

Hello, sorry for the delayed response. The ride height settings are as follows. For the front struts. 50mm from the bottom of the spring perch lock ring, to the end of the threads. And for the rear 40mm from the bottom of the locking ring to the end of the threads. This should lower your car with the correct balance. The ride height numbers are as follows. From the centerline of the axle to the edge of the fender, approximately, Front: 14.75" Rear: 13.75"

Thanks Ali.

At these “recommended” settings approximately how will the front and rear sit compared to OEM ride heights?
