Finally got time to install my Ohlins R&T

Had these sitting in my garage for a couple months due to injury. Finally got them thrown on, and man! Just as good as they were on my M2. Love every minute of them!

Pretty simple install. Beer drinking may have slowed it down a bit, but smooth overall. 😂

They have 20 levels of adjustment. At full stiff its so ridiculously stiff, I couldn’t even imagine using it on the track.
At softest level, it feels like an old crown Vic 😂
I’ve settled it at just under halfway.
I’m not a kw fan personally. Had them on a car years ago and sold within a month for different coils.
Also, the short ohlins lifespan for rebuilds is based off of track time. Not daily driving.

Ok I’ll bite! I’ve been contemplating coilovers for a slight lowering and to improve ride quality. How much of an exaggeration is the crown Vic comparison??

MUCH softer than my stock m sport suspension. Drove to get gas like that and immediately went stiffer…way too soft for my taste.

I set them at Ohlins suggested height and for some reason it sits that low. About to raise it up 1/2” because I’m tired of scraping everywhere.
