Decided to go with a different coilover as I don't know the reason they've done this.
I'm actually saving up for a set of those JRZ RS's

Do they usually keep stock of spare parts for servicing after they are discontinued? Love them on the street, much better than stock, will try them on track later this month.

Ohlins is one of the most reputable suspension brands in the world, and they would still make "built to order" coilovers of any spec you'd like if you asked them to, so I don't think you'll have an issue if you needed any servicing/replacements done on your Ohlins They come with 2 year warranty don't they? Maybe contact them and see what your options would be for rebuilding/replacing certain parts if you had issues after the 2 year mark!

I don't really like to look at it like that, I look at it as, I need suspension, what do I want? These qualifications fit the JRZ RS. Now I save up for them.

That's the opposite of what I was told by Onhlins USA. They are trying to grow their street market and the 86 platform has sold more than they expected.

I was told by the shop in Australia I usually order all my parts from, so no not at a cars and coffee meet. He might have meant they aren't providing them in Australia anymore, but I had emailed the Australia distributor listed on their website over the weekend to confirm what the go was.

EDIT: Haven't received a response yet but will update this when I do.

Just bought some from a NZ distributor a few weeks ago. Installed in the car over the weekend.

Wheel alignment on Thursday.

Will provide feedback on settings when I have driven on them for a while.

Ok so the Australian distributor listed on the website says they are still being sold, so not sure why my other shop has told me they aren't :/
