Ohlins R&T max amount of low (front)?
 
I've read lots on how they can go lower then the 20mm reccomend as per instructions but has anyone ever tested how much lower exactly? Backs is easy if you use Stance LCA or Raceseng or robispec extended hat mounts.

I realize these are NOT coilovers for slamming or real low I got that. But just trying to find out if a total of 35-50mm range lower then front is 100% possible?

i think the absolute maximum is -35mm in the front and -30mm in the rear. i could be wrong though

On my car:

Stock BRZ springs + stock wheels, ~665mm ground to top of fender (measured in straight line through center of wheel)

Ohlins + 245/35-18 Toyo Proxes T1 Sport, ~645mm ground to top of fender (same measurement), with about 5mm left of lowering left.

Total amount in the front you can lower is somewhere in the neighborhood of 25mm. 30mm max.

BTW I am in discussion with @Raceseng on their Cascam upper mounts. I will let you know what I find out, but it may be possible to get more front adjustment with their upper mounts.

Are you trying to see if they allow for more shock travel or lower the car? If so that'll be great cause I could use those for the Bilstein's I'm installing.

Sorry, it's ride height adjustment

As it stands, the Ohlins suspension won't allow more than 25mm of ride height adjustment. With the Raceseng upper mount, I may be able to get another 5-10mm depending on final upper perch design.
