No comparison in my opinion. They are in two different leagues. Even the KW Clubsports aren't as good as the Ohlins DFVs.

Whats the concensus on lowering with these? 10mm drop for track and street?
Its mostly street.

I went with the default settings that Ohlins recommended, which is 15mm in front, 10 in back. Seems to work well and I haven't had any issues with scraping, etc.

Are these upgradable like some of the the other dampers Ohlins offer?

Ohlins DFV is far from being TTX. Just to put this in perspective, TTX is on a slightly higher tier than the JRZ.

Revalvable for sure and you could run different rates.

Or do you mean swapping in TTX internals and making them double adjustable? I don't think you can do that. I remember having a conversation with Ohlins at PRI about this.

So on these Ohlins there is "only" rebound adjustment, very interesting.

I will have these on my car someday. RaceCompEngineering seems to have the lowest price at the moment so they'll probably get the sale.

Myles also has run them on our BRZ and can help with set up.

I will never own another set of Tein's and will never own a set of stance's (unless the crap comes on a shell i buy...that can't be helped ya know....)

These are all of the sex

Lol referring to me I assume? Have you Owned all three of those companies suspensions? Or even driven on all three with multiple chasis? I have, so I wouldn't judge something when you dont know the context of the question. Those coils are in order are my selection of high mid and low levels ranges. My Tein mono flexes are fantastic. I have also drive various cars on different stance suspension setups as I am friends with the founders and owners of the company. I also have various experience with ohlins. Obviously each tier will function differently and are priced accordingly. Troller

Do you still run the SRC's. curious as to how those feel on the street.

Yes I do mean upgradable as in upgrading the components adding high and low speed rebound/compression adjustments not just chaging springs/valving.

Yes we still do. We were curious as to how much spring the OTS SRC valving can handle so we recently tested on higher spring rates (12k/15k). The Streets of Willlow time also dropped in the mid 24s (unofficial time) with full tank and passenger with no tune (aka, very easy on throttle to prevent DI seal issues). Even with 12k/15k springs, the SRCs still feel amazingly subtle for street driving. Our warehouse location is located in an industrial area with train tracks and undergoing extensive construction on some of the main roads. You can imagine how ridiculous those roads are.
