The car feels amazing on track now, especially in mid-corner where the dampers are not in motion. For reference, the original springs were 9kg/mm and 19kg/mm, and the new setup is with 12kg/mm and 22kg/mm. I know some complained about the original springs to be too stiff but I never found that to be the case; it was just right for the street and too soft for the track. A few of my friends who are racing in Europe with their M2s also agree with this. I plan on writing a detailed post after some more testing, but for anyone who is considering Ohlins I recommend giving Barry a call.

I also went up to 12kg/mm in the front as a first step. We'll see if I update the rear too. I'm pretty happy with the balance as is. But maybe worth a try swapping out the rear springs too.
Wow you guys gotta have some really nice roads, I am at 7kg and 14kg with the rear revalved softer and a
I am looking to further reduce to 6kg and 11kg !
