Nice pick on the coilovers.

What's the max lower front/back?

And, what's the max lower front/rear with the addition of HVT fronts and RaceSengs rears? (ie: how much more lowering adjustability do the top plates additionally give?)

If I got these ohlins, and want to lower 1.25-1.5" all around, do I need to get the HVT front plates and also the RaceSeng rear plates? ....or, do I only need to get the rear plates?

From what I've read, it's only the rears that can't lower the car much (but the fronts lower it pretty decently)...correct?

Do you guys remember the TQ value for tightening the 5mm allen heads on camber plate bolts?

Sorry, I don't wrench on my car...mostly limited to swapping wheels and pads for track/street use...perhaps @Prime Motoring could advise

I just checked the Ohlin's instruction manual and it states 12-14Nm for the camber adjustment screws.

Anyone know how I can replacement springs? I'd like to go a little stiffer in the rear (7kg) assuming the shocks can handle this without a rebuild.

You'll need to measure the spring diameter (ID and OD) and spring length.

That would be a problem since they are installed on the car.

Talk to racecomp or Jeff at Ohlins. swift and a few others have compatable 2.5ID springs that will work.

What if you want to keep the cute Ohlins yellow/gold color scheme and don't want to get Swift/Hyperco? ..does Ohlins offer their own coilover springs in many diff rates?

Ohlins outsources spring production to a few various japanese companies.

Anthonytpt · 05-31-2014, 03:02 PM

They may be Eibach springs. That's what the rep at Performance Shocks Inc. told me.

fooddude · 05-31-2014, 04:01 PM

I just want to keep the pretty yellow color if I change to 7k or 8k all around lol.

Please send me a PM if you do end up getting new springs. Then I'll just follow in your footsteps.
