More info for you guys straight from Ohlins...

All of the McPherson upright mounts are extruded, then machined. Pricing as of right now should be listed around $3400, but that is subject to change, so don't quote me on that right now. Spring rates haven't been announced, but will be soon.

Most all of the kits are height adjustable from stock (or very near stock) 40-50mm below stock ride height. Kits will include the top mounts shown at SEMA which would be the Spherical bearing front/rear with camber adjustment on fronts. These will be using a 2.5" I.D. Spring. BRZ has yet to be confirmed on the top mounts, not sure if springs will be compatible with stock mounts or not.

Ohlins has their own spring manufacturer in Europe making springs to their specs.

I ran Ohlins on my STR mx-5 car that were custom valved for higher spring rates and I just loved them. This is definitely one of my options that I am thinking about . . .

I've got Ohlins 25mm cartridges and a TTX36 shock on my CBR600RR and absolutely love them. Can't wait to read the comparison threads. More options are definitely a good thing.

Where are you getting more than a 2 year warranty with coilovers?

At any rate they look excellent and probably perform even better.

I believe KW, Bilstein and a few others do lifetime warranties as well a servicing at a fee.

I don't mind going through a third party vendor instead of Ohlins after the parts are discontinued. I would just want to be 100% sure it's serviceable by a reputable shop in lets say a decade from now.

That is awesome!! I emailed OhlinsUSA as soon as the FR-S/BRZ came out and they said they didn't plan on making a set for Scion/Subaru. Glad they were able to conform and make it happen.

Sorry, I had to. This is exciting!

SubieNate · 11-08-2012, 03:07 PM

Isn't "Ehrlins" the correct pronunciation?

Turbowned · 11-08-2012, 04:33 PM

I think so, hence why I made the meme.

Latest update is that coilovers should be available around the month of March next year! Better plan your tax returns accordingly

Ohlins makes amazing products! Excited to see them developing an 86 set. I am sure you will see these on all the new competition FRS & BRZ currently being built.
