Ohlins Road & Track DFV Coilovers
pudding:
I keep looking at those but too many house expenses to fork out for at the moment. New carpet, or AP Racing brakes, carpet, brakes, carpet, brakes..... :thinking:
The boss who wears the skirts would kill me if she didn't get her new carpet!

Do it Kev

Great review! Who wouldn't love to have these coilovers on his/her Ed. 30? :drool: :drool: :drool:
Keep us posted with your thoughts. :drinking:

@MIJ_JAGGER Wicket tatt :laugh: Probably a good idea to replace old and brittle bones with Ohlins struts when you get older :grin:
Thanks @Shoduchi I think I've put about 1500 miles on them now. In common with most stiff coilovers, I'm noticing more interior rattles now, and even wobblier Xenons than ever before :grin: All part of the modifying game unfortunately.
Now that winter is here and my PS4s are down to 3mm, the tyres feel like concrete, so I've backed the damping off a click and dropped the pressures to 32psi front and 31psi rear which has helped a lot. I really need some new rubber. They are bloody awful at the moment. Tramlining badly and not much grip. Performance tyres seem to go off very quickly past half worn.
Still loving the suspension kit though. The ride height hasn't settled at either end, so no adjustments needed :happy2: I've never had coilovers before where you literally take them out of the box and throw them on. I like that :smiley: Knackered tyres aside, road feel and cornering grip are still epic :happy2:

Didn't see this great review until now. Thanks man! :happy2:
I was thinking of them too but since mine has become a track-toy and I don't care of any noise, rattle, vibration, I choose AST with hard spring rates. But this kit is pure quality,
Now this car deserves that summer project (DSG Conversion) if you can get a good, low mileage one. :jumping:
