Ohlins!

andy_meng1024

Mine is a one-off 3way version and I believe the first ever kit for 370z, but most PSi Ohlins are custom anyway so price varies from options and settings. This is a new kit so there’s no part number yet, but contact Beau from Performance Shock Inc. and you should be able to get a quote for it. The first time I drove this after install was why didn’t I buy this much sooner, lol.

Do you remember your spring rates with your kit?

andy_meng1024

Yeah it’s F1100 and R600 coilover setup, but surprisingly it’s more comfort on street than DFV with F650 R600 factory setup I had.

I'm sure the valving has a lot to do with that. Thanks for the info.

andy_meng1024

Yeah the high speed compression is working really well on the ride comfort part!

I've got PSI making me a set of 2-way Ohlins TTX. I run them on some of my other cars, and like them a lot.

My current Ohlins DFV's were custom valved by PSI as well, running 900F/1000R (non-coilover rear). Will use the same spring rates with the TTX. I prefer the divorced rear setup. I'll actually be posting up my custom valved DFV's for sale soon. They have super low miles (less than 3K). It's a great setup for this car to be honest, especially when you valve them for higher rates.

Between the TTX and my OS Giken LSD tune/rebuild, the car should be a lot better on track!

I have no idea how people are running this car with no rear bar, or just stock rear bar with a huge Hotchkis front bar. I run this car on square 275 tire and staggered setup (275/295 or 265/285).
On all tire setups, I still run my Hotchkis rear on full stiff, with 1000lb rear springs (divorced OE setup) along with a 900lb front spring.

The car handles perfectly neutral on 275/295 (18" tires) and 265/285 (19" tires) for the track. On square it's just a bit free. I don't understand how people drive these cars without frustration on track.
I guess people like understeer.

Reminds me of E92 M3 land, where all the owners don't install a rear aftermarket swaybar simply because it's difficult, and then run a very small spring split. I run the hotchkis rear on full stiff in that car on square tire setup with no aero and the car handles beautifully. Again, people must like understeer.

^^ you got all those cars in your sig? Damn bro!

I always thought a smaller/less stiff sway bar in the rear was better for rear grip. I actually opted for the bigger sway in the front and stock in the rear. Interesting reasoning for a stiffer rear setup.

My TTX showed up, so my Ohlins R&T kit will be up for sale soon.
Sorry, I actually have the Eibach rear bar, as it's a bit bigger than the Hotchkis. Have Hotchkis up front though. Car handles really nicely.

I'll posted up another thread for my Ohlins R&T for sale. They are mint, and a great shock. I didn't really have any reason to upgrade to be honest.

Tested the new Giken LSD rebuild, and it works great now. So the car should be even more fun once I get these installed and properly sorted!
