The KW V3s are much closer in spring rates to the SACHS, Bilsteins, and R&Ts though. And yeah, I don't disagree about stiffness being a bandaid to travel/proper valving.

I'd be a lot more interested in the Ohlins if they just flipped the springs F/R and I had good confidence in their adjustment range to get the springs I'm thinking of, that would have been the case if they were the same valving as the MI20 but with different valving and the rear so soft I'm not sure. buying coilovers is hard if you overanalyze things Last edited by strat61caster; 04-23-2018 at 12:49 PM. |

I'm on the 4th suspension setup on my car... But that's more because I'm indecisive and likely have undiagnosed car modification adhd.

Hey guys another question. How do you fully tighten the centre nut and at what torque?

I'm likely going to run higher spring rates than the kit comes with and Vorshlag front upper camber plate and rear plate with radial bearing upgrade.
I'm excited to see how this all plays out

Strap wrench on the shaft and normal socket on the nut, and not sure about the torque spec off the top of my head.

What spring rates are you thinking about? I'm curious as to how the car would feel.

If I had the BRZ tS, then I would definitely change the suspension. I cannot stand the wheel gap.
Give us an update when you have the Ohlins installed. Last edited by nikitopo; 04-25-2018 at 02:51 PM. |

My coilovers are already mounted. Not sure if that will work
I am trying to tighten the top nut, but every time to hit the torque spec of 30 nm, it seems to turn back its weird. Any idea why? IS it because Iam turning the shaft? |

You should be able to get a strap wrench in even with the coilovers in the car, might need a helper to hold it (or use the torque wrench at the top). I've got this set, worked great for me on the v3's (off the car). http://www.canadiantire.ca/en//pdp/m...-0588335p.html
