Let’s Welcome Ohlins USA

ResIpsa

*Full honesty, I ordered my sent in late January and they’re still not available and there’s no estimated time of arrival. So while they may be an amazing suspension at an amazing price as of now they’re unavailable.

Yes I know they been available overseas for years. But that meant trusting some overseas vendor with your credit card, sucking up the ridiculous value added tax, and paying the overseas shipping fees.

Ohlins has decided to feel out the U.S market for its 370Z road and track suspension. If our community shows enough interest we will have a truly superior coil over available for an amazing price point. There are some downsides which I will explain below, but the upside are more than worth it in my opinion.

Just so you know, I do not work for them. However, I did order the first set based from Ohlins USA!

There really are two levels of suspensions. With the first ranging from Tein, Koni (nonrace), BC Racing, KW V, etc... And then there is the second level consisting of AST, Moton, and Penske’s. The Ohlins fall into the second level.

If you do any type of competition ( auto cross, racing, time trails, etc.), with all things being equal between cars, you will be at an advantage ( or your competition will be at a disadvantage) if you are on Ohlins and they are on a first level suspension.

And the Ohlins cost only 2.5K. AST or Moton will set you back more than 5K. Don’t even ask about Penske.

Now the downsides.

1. Since they are testing out the waters in the United States they do not have them in stock. That means they’re coming by slow boat from Sweden. However, with enough interest they will start stocking them in the United States.

2. They’re only have two settings, soft and hard (although rebound and compression are both adjusted).

3. Spring rates are a little soft for track duty. However, custom Swift springs are available for a couple hundred bucks.

So if you’re willing to put up with the downsides, want the upper hand on your competition, or just want the best available suspension in the sub $3000 range give or Ohlins a look.
