I'm thinking that "service" would be inspection and only a rebuild if leaking or an issue encountered. Can hurt to discuss with the Ohlins rep. |

if you find out, would you mind sharing this with us? i was looking into online vs m perf coils and the time between rebuilds is pretty important to me.

The question is, is Ohlins just conservative and wanting to maintain maximum performance? Or, do they really not hold up as well as the KW designed M Performance parts. I also wonder what street use means exactly. I would think 10 hours on the Cross-Bronx expressway (assuming you're moving) is worse than a track day . |

From another Ohlin thread:
So been doing a ton of research and looking into ohlins for my M2C. As my set up will be predominately for street use, with occasional track visits. I was researching alternative spring rates as the recommended rates seemed pretty high and a few around here have gone with lower front and rear rates or just lower rear rates.
So I gave Ohlin a call and their tech recommended going with 70nm (400lbs) fronts (vs. 90nm (513lbs) recommended) and leaving the rears at 190nm (1,075lbs). He stressed that the rear rates were not too high and given the rear pressure and less undulations in the rear, you didn't want to have your rear dampers bottom out. Softening up the fronts would have a larger impact on the ride quality given the fronts had much more undulations. He further referenced that the e9x M3 kit came with 60nm front springs on an arguably heavier car, explaining that 70nm was not too soft by any means. I'm by no means a suspension expert nor have I had much experience with Ohlins enough to understand the technical reasoning, so wanted to get the crowds feedback on the recommended rates above. Thanks in advance!

I had it corner balanced and aligned to my custom specs. Camber plates, also. Street driving - between 10-15 clicks - it's firm yet comfortable and compliant. Ohlins tech support is excellent. Track performance is very good but still experimenting with set-up. Car rotates better under trail braking and is much more stable braking from high speed (its quelled some of the rear dance that the F-8X cars exhibit). I'd go with the Ohlins set up unless they have some good data for you on a modified spring rate. |

Appreciate the feedback!
So after a few calls and emails with Ohlin North America, I decided to order their recommendations for street - at 70nm (400lb) front and 199nm (1,087lbs) rear. Throughout our discussions, they made it clear, the rear rates were not too high and was well matched with the damper for street and track performance. They further noted, ride quality had less to do with spring rates and much more to do about Ride Frequency. FWIW - he said if it were his own car, he'd go 70/190 as a primarily street set up. Unfortunately I still have a ways to go until my car is delivered, so won't be able to try out until this summer.

I am mostly dead set on 70/140 because of the awful roads we have here.
Anyone running these rates ? EDIT: I just ordered the kit with new matching vorshlag camber plates, I'll report what I think of the softer rates.

I had the car's ride height, corner balancing, and alignment done by KMC Motors in Lawrence. Was worth the trip

Very track oriented Garage. Helped me out at Thompson several years ago when I had issues with my EVO.

It all depends on what the potential buyers expectations are I guess.

I agree. Although some people are basing entry level as BC or XYZ ~$1000 coilovers and KW V3 and Ohlins R&T as high-end. Then that makes MCS/JRZ/Moton as custom(And they are).

Installation was done by Burning Rubber Tire and Speed at Oakville. They also did alignment plus corner balance as well. Top notch shop. |
