I already have a set of RT MK2 and would like them revalved to be more aggressive.

Springs as well.

We should have access to the valving specifications. Typically, we send our R&T coilovers back to Ohlins to have them re-valved to match specific spring rates. Just responded to your PM. Let us know which rates you're interested in - i'll check if we have them in stock!

I'd be very curious to see shock dyno's if possible.

They're aiming to fully releasing this kit towards the end of the year. I'll be at VIR with NASA the 17th and 18th of this month, so I'll have a bunch of feedback to share with everyone come the 19th.

Alright everyone,

I spent the weekend at VIR with NASA and had an absolute blast. It was scorching hot and it's time for an oil cooler (temps hit over 260 degrees for oil a couple times). The car felt great and the Ohlins felt even better. Again, I'm no pro driver and drove HPDE 2 SOLO all weekend. My average laps were between 2:25 and 2:30, so I'm very happy with everything and really couldn't expect a better setup. To drive 4 hours to the track, change nothing, drive all weekend, throw all my crap back in my car and drive 4 hours home without changing a single thing? I mean, come on.

From my understanding I was able to corner at an additional 5-6 mph and under hard braking while trying to trail brake. I felt the suspension was a lot stronger, and as an example of this I felt it most in turn 1, 11 and 14. Again, more seat time can be the result of this, but this DFV Dedicated kit is a dope setup for the money.

Let me know what questions you have and criticism on my driving is welcome.. because that's the only way you get better.

I just sent my Ohlins in for a rebuild and re-valve to the Dedicated spec and I'm planning to get a set of Swift springs. What's the length of your springs and are the helper springs necessary? Thanks.

RacingredGR86 · 09-19-2022, 11:22 AM

@sidebrake - what spring rates where you running and what new spring rates you plan on going with via Swift springs.

As for spring lengths, I found in other threads that original spring that comes with the R&T kit are approx. 9". Swift makes a wide range of spring rates at this length that could work.

Was originally running the 5/5k set up. It is getting re-valve to 9/9k.
