Got my stage II Ohlins coilovers last week and i'm going to be installing them this afternoon after i get home from work.

They are totally assembled and ready to go on...

anyone with any experience with these with any tips or things i need to look out for when installing?

thanks

jack up the front or the back, not the side.
(oh what a dummy I have been.)

 

Make sure the bolts are tight.

thanks

 

Haha sorry, just my sense of humor I guess. Coilovers, at least for me, in terms of installation ease were dead simple, out with the old in with the new, just make sure if they do not come with a brake line holder/whatever that you make sure your line will not rub or touch anythingthat moves, and you should be straight!

everything came out great...thanks for the info.

 

ok, it's about midnight and just got home from about an hour ride.

My initial impressions are that these coilovers are very high quality and my car did have a noticable handling improvement even before my alignment and corner balance. so, for the most part, i am very happy.

I have two questions however for the works crew.

1. On the top of the rear shocks there is a little knob that is used to adjust the stiffness of the shock....where is the adjustment on the front shocks?

2. The rear seem's to have a noticable drop but the front seems like there is very little or no drop at all. Do the Ohlins take a while to settle or do i just have to make the adjustment myself....which is no big deal...but i just want to know how you guys set them up for me so i don't do anything stupid to throw everything out of whack.

Overall though i am very happy with my purchase and so far i love my new coilovers.

Fronts are inverted. Adjustment is on the bottom. Don't know about the drop in back. Welcome to the world of Ohlins. Awesome product. Get an alignment after you get the ride height where you want it.

 

most definately, i'm going for my alignment and corner balance tomorrow

 

As mentioned, the front adjustment is on the bottom. Give Ali a call at the shop as he probably set them up for you and can tell you what settings were done in the process.
