Curious about Ohlins Road and Track
In 2013, they were launched at 3,700 (which is about 4,714.13 today). They were pretty expensive.
In 2018, ohlins updated them for 2nd gen at price point of 3200 (3,780 with inflation factored in). I saw those on Tire rack without mounts for 2290. Ohlins said they are coming with 2nd gen specific ones. I am curious about few things 1. How and why did the price changed so much through years? If you knew price point in between year, please do share those. 2. Since weight and weight distribution is pretty similar between gen 1 and gen 2, what else affects performance that they change it for 2nd gen. I understand changes needed for 2nd engine specific parts, I am just trying to understand suspension. I own BRZ which would be my daily for I don't know how long. I have Kia Stinger as well and soon getting a Honda pilot as 3rd car with baby on the way. BRZ is pretty easy to drive through city and park at work. At this point I am just learning about my needs and wants to be frank, so all opinions, thoughts, experiences welcomed. |

For 1, I was asking because I don't know price from 2020 to determine if price dropped due to 2nd gen or it was dropping already?

List price is often higher then actual sale price for many coilovers, Bilstein does this as well with B16 listed at like $2,500 but usually selling closer to $2,200 these days.
Big Ohlins discount came from removing top hats, ~$2,200 for springs and dampers has been consistent for the last 6-7 years iirc. |

I bought mine at the original MSRP. Dealer cost is approx. 15% off MSRP. A year later the price was reduced by $400 with same specs Then later they came out with the version without top hats and softer springs for cheaper Quality product, inconsistent retail structure. |

Top hats were useful for camber adjustments right? Those are close to 1k now. |

Skip Ohlins top hats and go Raceseng front and OEM rear. Gets you the adjustment without a big price tag.

Just look for a good price. I have the 2nd rendition at 5k and 5k. Ride 100% better than the PP dampers but you will find the limit on them on the track if you go to a 200 tread wear tire.

I'm not sure any suspension is going to a "cure" for using 200TW tires. 200TWs are so darn sticky anymore, they're borderline slicks. Any suspension will reach their limits on them. RCE, Ohlins, even MCS are all going to be right up there with the best of them. Can't change physics.

+1 for this sentiment. I have the 5/5 revised MP20 model and really do wish they were a bit stiffer in the spring department. Perhaps when it's time to send them to Ohlins for a rebuild I'll get them revalved for stiffer springs. The road ride quality is incredible though.
