Ohlins Road & Track - settings (clicks) for street/track/ax

[Darryljr11]

13F 13R street for now
D.C. roads are shit! lol may have to go full soft

After some more testing on a new car, -10f/-11r is a little bit on the stiff side but not stiff and still comfortable on the street, with very sharp handling. Sweet spot for me is at -13f/-14r for daily driving - increases comfort and still preserves most of the sharp handling on the street. Tried -16f/-17r and while the comfort on the street is even better over good pavement, car gets a little floaty over bigger bumps or wavy roads. This set is amazing IMHO, well worth the money.

Interestingly enough, I tried -18 clicks all around on the street and it's the most comfortable setting yet, with even less floating feel than at -16. Still good handling, just a little less sharp...but it's so easy to firm up for spirited driving while enjoying the comfort for daily commute and alike

Street: 20f/20r
Track: 5f/4r

Lowered 20mm f/r with corner balance
Camber -2.5f/-2.0r
Toe 0f/small to-in r (don't recall exact #)

Has anyone run them on racing tires and considered a higher spring rate because of it?

Heh. Ain't that the truth.

I just found out that I have 30-31 clicks on both rear dampers WTF??

According to Ohlins, its normal, beyond the first 20 clicks, each other click has little or no impact to the ride.

Usually i dun go that soft. My setting is 14/14

I have 400lb/in springs at the back, but I run mine at about 12-15 click on british B roads. Set them too soft and the car is all over the place on bumpy back roads.

On the track I vary from 5-8 clicks

This is on AD08R 235/40/18 tyres.

Thanks! Thank was hugely helpful for the peace of my mind Because fronts have about 25 clicks.

Hello everyone, for those who have the Ohlins R/T

I just got these installed on my FR-S, the coils were set at its lowest front and rear, and after settle, it seems like it's a 1 finger gap in the front and a 2.5 or 3 finger gap on the rear?

Is that the same for you guys?

From my install thread:

- The rear suspension allows you to lower the car about 1" at most. IMO if you want to lower the car more, or get a bit more adjustment height-wise, get Ohlins with the Stance rear lower control arm.
- The front suspension allows you about 1.5-1.75" of lowering at most.

My front gap is about 0.75" from the tire at full lowering.

My rear gap is about 1.125" from the tire at full lowering.

My plan is to change out the rear top hats for Raceseng ones and no rubber top piece...that should gain me 0.3" more lowering to even it all out...at least I hope.
