Ohlins!
 

Thanks to a certain individual (Adam Chugg) approaching the Ohlins representative at the PRI show we now have the 370Z road and track coil overs available in the USA. That is a AST, Moton Level suspension available for $2.5K!

Remote reservoirs and 2 and 3 way adjustable? No link.

Haha you wish (I wish too).

Their R&T line is single adjustment knob for rebound adjustment (although the product manual actually says the compression also changes but to a lesser degree)

No link. I don’t sell them. Just trying to give everyone a heads up that they’re now available.

You plan to do off-road like Baja Raptor on your turbo Z?

Wow to much cocaine brother!

I mean octane.:tup:

At 2.5k it sounds like they were talking about the DFV Road and Track one, they've had that for awhile you just had to order it and wait for shipping. An Ohlins Motorsports one would be great.

Yes. But you would get stung with VAT and overseas shipping. This makes things so much simpler.

Looked up their euro version's spring rate, 515/400 seems a little soft

Nay, I like my current setup, just need more adjustment for high speed and low speed compression. I want more control than a single adjuster can give me.

JRZ's with 4 way adjustments for $9,000. :eek: :yum:

The Ohlins are $2,590.00. They're the DFV type. Hmmmm

I ran across these when I was doing coilover research for my STU build. S2000 guys really like them. I thought the rate was kinda soft for what I want my coilovers for and it seemed like a lot of effort to get them where I needed. Especially if we are shelling out $2500. At that price point I'd like to choose my springs and have custom valving corresponding to the rates.

what's the spring rates on the Ohlins?

Yeah, that is not enough spring. I would want at least 13k front and 11k rear.

And the the rates in the former link are even softer. They seem like they tuned these more for the street.

It's the Road & Track product line. I think my are 1000/450 and it hurts on the street.

The prize with the Ohlins is the shocks. You can swap custom Swift’s For a couple hundred bucks.

Do you have any info regarding the the acceptable range of spring rates these dampers can take before needing re valving? Most dampers can change by like 1-2k without issue. I'm sure these are great, but if a person needs to buy these and then another set of springs, and then send them out to be serviced all before even going on the car, that puts their price closer to~$3100 and a lot of downtime. It would be nice if these were sold from a vendor willing to send these out with buyer specs, especially at the $2000+ price point.

Sorry if it feels like I'm being critical, I just want as much info available as possible, otherwise this is just an ad.

edit: so it seems some vendors will do exactly that. Still no info on the range these can take, but these will need a re-valve if you plan to run closer to the 1.90+ hertz range.

From what I’ve seen Ohlins says their shocks can take a 30% increase or decrease without revalving. The R&T spring rates are 11F 10R. So 14 should be fine up front and 13 rear.

But if in doubt, give Ohlins USA a call. Certainly don’t buy them if your desired spring rates exceed the shock limits.

And no need to be sorry about being critical. This is the track section. Accurate information, critical or not, belongs in this part of the form.

Will definitely be buying these. I inquired back in the fall about their availability in the US. The dampers are top notch, would try them with the given springs before changing to stiffer ones.

Now that's an idea.

I have the Ohlins TTX36 installed for a couple months now, and it’s much much better than my previous DFV that I had for 3yr.

Lol yea no xiet. Congrats on the new setup!

Thank you! I’m still playing with it, but so far i already improved my lap time by almost 1sec and there’s still plenty room to go.

Post more on your setup please.

I got the 3way version of TTX36 from PSi, and I already have every possible SPL parts installed. Originally I had the Hotchikis front and no rear bar, but after a couple times on track this year I find the front Hotchkis not needed anymore so now I have the OEM front bar back.

:yum::yum::yum:

Need more info. Part numbers, etc.

Price?

Good lord, we went from talking about the DFV to staring at a set of 3 way TTX36...haha haha love it!

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?

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.

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! :rock:

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!

Here is my FS add for my Ohlins R&T DFV coilover kit.
