Out of interest why did you choose Ohlins and which company did you use to buy them?

The stock dampers are quite light. I don't supposed you weighed the kit before install to know if it is heavier than OEM?

They claim the dual valve technology provides a very comfortable ride with large grip improvements compared to stock. What's your view on their comfort, grip and agility having now run them on your car?

They are the standard Ohlins springs and I bought the kit and had it fitted by Birds.

We didn't weigh them.

I definitely think there are grip and agility improvements over stock but quantifying these would be difficult. I'm not too bothered about comfort but they feel about the same as the medium EDC setting.

Overall I'm happy I did this and I'm still looking at solutions for the noise.
