It happened to mine. Have to take the coil off and tighten the nut.

Thanks everyone for your input. I'll have everything tighten ASAP, hopefully that will be enough.

@mav1178 hey Alex, wondering if you have experienced any spring bind issues? I'm hearing a bit of spring bind at full lock on the left; can tell that the top 2 spring "circles" are rubbing against each other only at full lock. Also using RaceSeng top hat with their custom perch (which already includes a thrust bearing).
Wondering if you've experienced anything similar. Thanks!

I've started noticing a single "click" noise from both rears when starting from stop (and once in a while during shifting), but nothing else during driving ie over bumps, etc. Over last week, it started to turn into a jingling noise (like loose change). Looked around to re-torque everything and noticed that I've lost one pair of the locking allen screws (for height adjustment) in the passenger front coilover. Gave Ohlins a call to order another set and just cranked down on the other allen lock for now and re-torqued everything else. After getting back on the road Monday morning, clicking still persists... TLDR started hearing clicking in the rears, turns out front height adjustment lock was loose/gone, torqued everything down, clicking still there |

@mav1178 hrm okay so it's not super uncommon, similar conditions for me but a bit more often, only at lock.

Has never happened anywhere else, on track nor on any of my roadtrips in the past 18 months. I do check the suspension about once a month (esp before/after track events), have to say these are probably the most maintenance-free coilovers I have had (and I've owned a lot). -alex |

Call me crazy but would it be possible to remove the front Ohlins camber plates then re-use the front OEM top hats? Where I live pillow ball mounts would not pass inspection. I know I'd lose camber adjustment and have to live with however much negative camber I can get with camber bolts.

Ohlins actually sell the R&T kit without the top mounts here in europe. You might need to special order it in the US though.

As far as I know, only Japan has its own version of Ohlins R&T with 9k/7k spring rates. The rest of the world gets the same 6k/6k with the same top mounts.

Also I'd like to as the owners of these dampers about the damping quality at low speeds (20~45MPH). How is the ride quality over small bumps and undulating road surfaces? Also How they perform if you bump up the spring rates without a revalve. Thanks! @mav1178 @Dezoris @Racecomp Engineering |
