I said don't compare KW CS or KW V3 to JRZ or Ohlins.
I would not hesitate to use JRZ or Ohlins.

i am definitely gaining a lot of confidence in the ohlins setup. I am concerned about JRZ since a few members in the 1M forum had to send them back for multiple rebuilds and little issues, though when they are working they are top notch. |

Generally speaking, a higher end damper requires more maintenance. Not sure about the Ohlins but the JRZs are like a low end really nice damper. The TC Kline represents the best of a good low maintenance damper.
I like the TC Kline setup since TC Kline did the testing on an actual E9X M3 which is worth something. So you can bolt this suspension up and have 95% of the right answer. Nothing is more frustrating than spending lots of track time finding the sweet spot...something to think about. How much time do you want to spend tuning? I would ask that during your research.

The Ohlins R&T dampers require maintenance every 15,000 km's or 10h of
track time. What work is actually involved in the maintenance? So far I'm loving my Ohlins, they seem to be getting even better after putting some miles on them. Car feels superb. I debated the options quite a bit before pulling the trigger on the Ohlins and wasn't sure how track oriented to go. After driving the terrible roads in LA and San Francisco I can definitely say that I wouldn't want a stiffer setup for a dual duty car and happy I opted for the Ohlins R&T. ~Axis

I did some experimenting with my KWs about a week and a half ago and was able to find a really nice balance on them and they are performing up to expectations on both the street and my most recent visit to the track. I am trying to remind myself that it is more important for my car to be a great DD than a great track car since I spend 99.9 percent of my time driving it on the street (even though I do have quite a few events planned). So I will be sticking with my KW, though if I could do it again, I probably would jump to ohlins. |

JRZ RS1 and Ohlins R&T are very close in damping in my opinion, with Ohlins having slightly more precision. Ohlins R&T requires significantly less damping adjustment to achieve critical damping and tightens up rather quickly with just a few clicks.

I wouldn't be surprised if 99% of this forum's aftermarket suspension setups aren't optimally set up (mine included). We just like to spend money and say we have nice stuff.

True. And you do have some quick times. I just think it is weird that people are toting JRZ/Ohlins/Penske/Unobtaniums as necessary for a dual purpose car that is a compromise car to begin with. That goes for this thread and others like it.

I would remove the fenders completely so everyone can see them as I pass by.

Lots of options and all the brands mentioned are going to be quality. More importantly find someone willing to help set them up.
On my subaru wrx the store i had install the suspension ran cars in Targa Tasmainia.http://www.ausmotive.com/2011/11/08/...h-country.html They offered a day working with one of thier drivers to help set them up, easy way to beat the damper learning curve. Another option around 3k Nitron R1's http://store.vacmotorsports.com/nitr...-1m-p2804.aspx |

Been keeping up with this thread. So basically 15k miles, ohlins need to be serviced? That means the car needs to go in the shop and on a rack for a week or two in order to have the shocks adjusted.. That's not too friendly for daily drivers
