FS: (Like New) Ohlins R&T w/ Vorshlag Plates

Asking Price:

Sold

Item Interest

This setup was puchased in early July and it has about 1k or so miles on it. When I bought the car in May 2019, coilovers weren't in the plans, let alone Ohlins. My current M3 is the second E9X M3 I've owned. The E92 M3 I previously owned was lowered on Swift springs, which I recall being very please with as far as ride comfort and height was concerned. I installed Swift on my current M, but I wasn't pleased with the front drop, as it wasn't as low as I desired. I said f-it and went all out and got the Ohlins, but they're wasting away on my car due to very limited driving time, so I'm returning to stock. My primary goal is to have a lowered M with minimal compromise to ride comfort. These Ohlins deserve better. It's not them, its me.

Both the coilovers and the camber plates were purchased new and installed at the same time. I'm not going to get into a lot of detials about how great they are because you can find more than enough reviews on them and quite frankly I didn't drive on them enough, nor have I had the opportunity to put them to the test.

My loss, your gain. The price reflects the full setup and all of the components that came with the original purchase, however, the orginal box was accidentally thrown out.

No offense, but if you're posting on the thread as opposed to sending a PM I consider the probability of you being a serious buyer to be EXTREMELY LOW and therefore I may not be inclined to respond. I also respectfully ask that you not use my thread for talking points and opinons. Thanks

Where you at Man? Or would U ship to 77041?

I've heard that BC Racing coilovers are a good option for affordable low with good ride quality so might want to look into that. glws

Updated wih pics of the front coils and camber plates. My time on the car has been very limited so my apologies for the delay in getting them removed. I expect to get to the rears some time throughout week and shipped or picked up this weekend.

I hope the conidtion of the front struts will result in commitment from a buyer. First come, first serve.

Can these be made to easily use a more normal coilover size spring? 2.5/60mm ID springs?

Any idea what the spring rates are on these out of the box?

simpleM3 · 11-13-2019, 09:35 PM

unfortunately I do not have answers to your questions.

Yep, with new springs and camber plates. Swift will spec your springs for you and ground control offer a 60mm camber plate option as well as a 2.25 , 2.50.

So does Vorshlag. Buy the upper perch from Vorshlag. For the lower perch, shouldn't be too hard. Ask HPA, he sells Swift sprung Ohlins all the time.

I don’t mind the insight but let’s end it there. I’d like to avoid having conversations that isn’t benefitting my sale. Thanks
