Ohlins R&T made in Thailand or Ohlins motorpsorts made in EU?

Just because it says Ohlins on it doesn't mean it's properly done. The R&T line is full of compromises across many platforms.

That doesn't mean it can't perform acceptably. It's just not the proper way to do it.

Ohlins R&T endlink mounting is a joke. With 4 different brand/style endlinks, I have what are basically steering rack lockouts for endlinks.

End of this season I'll be picking up a set of Xidas, wish they were an option before I got these coilovers.

Will you take pre orders? Do you recommend the same 17x9 wheel with 255 tires?

When development is complete and the shocks are in production yes, we will be in taking preorders. If I had to guess, shocks shipping to customers is 6 to 10 months away.
Tecnas will work with any wheel/tire that you can put on an 86.

Is this thread the best way to stay up to date on preorders?

Best way to stay in the loop is to get on our mailing list. Just shoot us an email. We send about 3 broadcast emails a year, not 2 a day like some mailing lists :)

Any updates on these suspension?:)

No updates, sorry. Still in development, definitely happening. No ETA.

These are very interesting to me. I'll be shopping coilovers in this price range next season, and most of the current offerings don't appeal to me because they're pretty much all twin tube.

Why not Bilstein? It's a great monotube option in that price range.

For one of the same reasons I got rid of my SACHs coilovers, softer sprung progressive spring rates. My car is dual use, but will be a dedicated track car before long. Not planning massive aero or sticky tires soon, but would prefer a monotube with linear rates

The progressive springs stats are misleading. They're not much different than helper springs on other coilovers. Once the car is at a static ride height the springs are nearly linear.
The springs are certainly softer than most other coilovers. I think most coilover offerings for this car are too stiff.
If you're not planning on big aero or sticky tires the Bilsteins will be plenty. Go find a car with them to drive and make up your own mind based on first-hand experience. Especially with the damper tuning, they are more performance-oriented than you would think simply by looking at spring rates.
