Goal is to leave them on yes. But I will have to remove brakes for winter.

Any updates and impressions on the Ohlins? I know you are very picky and used stock for so long so very curious on your take on them comfort wise now that more time has gone by?

Btw... What's the "next major mod"? Any hints ?

Well, I am so far behind with my video stuff. And now that it is getting cold I may not get to the track review this year.

So far the two things I have notice is ride quality is definitely better, more composed. On the softest setting its a large improvement over stock.
When you set stiffness high, the car becomes much different. There is overhead for track while also having an excellent setting for street.

Now that it has gotten colder you can tell the spherical bushings are noisier which would be the same with any top plate design. Also you can tell the ride is more firm in the cold until shocks/struts get heat in them. More pronounced with these vs. OEM.

Other than that no major or minor issues to report so far.

Next project, is to finish FA20 interview video editing, Essex interview, and Ohlins interview.
Then probably some final thoughts and some more fun videos. In terms of tech stuff not sure about the direction to go yet.

The 17x8 rpf1 in 45 offset. Now that you've lowered it abit how are they sitting in regards to flush to fender? I might have missed this but you're not running spacers correct?

I can snap a picture for you. I'd say they are close to flush. I did not want them sticking outside or going outside fender lines.

I don't run spacers, on stock wheel studs as well had wheels on and off over 100x and no issues.

Good info looking at either these or some Advan tc2 for a light square setup. What camber have you settled on all around with coils on now?

-1.9F and -1.5R Found this is about the max I would go on street tires anything more and it's just silly for a street car.
