Always nice to have more quality parts more readily available for our platform

$2.5K is a pretty good price for that it comes with springs and aluminum top-hat. At that price, aluminum top hats are often extras (for such brand).

Would love to have independent adjustments for compression and rebound, but can't have it all for the price.

I've had Ohlins on most of my street bikes. My VFR has Ohlins forks and shock on it now. Top shelf suspension.

I just wish the coilovers for the Z was a true 2 way adjustable. Separate compression and rebound dampening. I really like that the spring preload is separate from ride height.

Glad you brought up that the DFV isn't a 2-way adjustable set. I'd been assuming they were 2 way for a while now.

You’re right. I fixed the original post.

Well Ohlins website does advertise it as compression and rebound adjustable, just cannot be adjusted independently. I guess it’s a “2-way”, just not a “true 2-way” as Rusty put it.

Some of my research has showed me that on some. When you adjust the dampening. It will change both the compression and rebound. On others. The rebound will not change but the compression will. So........when looking. Read the fine print.

Yep, it depends on the quality $$$ of damper, cheaper ones tend to be all over the place when making adjustments while better one's like this one I am sure are consistent and predictable.

I think you have this backwards. Typically a 1 adjuster is the low speed rebound is the major change and you may see a slight change in compression but it is minimal at best (some even put in a one way valve to ensure there is no crosstalk). For some reason the car world continues to call it a soft-firm adjuster when in reality is should be a slow-fast adjuster, if you have non true type coilovers just pull your rear shock and test it yourself and you’ll find the difference in effort to compress the shock at full soft is essentially unnoticeable vs firm yet the difference the shock returns will be instantly apparent. The reason behind this is rebound ports are smaller than compression ports as the rebound actually needs to be more restrictive than compression (may sound odd but look at any damper piston and the smaller ports are the rebound). That said the single adjuster adjust the size of the free bleed port and since that port cannot be too large otherwise you would not have enough rebound damping (all oil would flow through the main port and not the piston) so the port must be small enough to restrict on rebound which then makes it too small to flow on compression and the compression shims will lift before any major amount of oil is flowing through the bleed port.

Hopefully that makes sense

You guys can watch this guys videos for a ton of information (he does mtb suspension but has an extensive background in others)
