I would explain but it won't help you. Quote:
16kg rear spring is 900lbs which isn't that "stiff" on the e9x chassis. With good dampers 1000lbs+ will still be street compliant, it'll be a firm ride but not bone jarring stiff nor annoyingly bouncy. |

IYR, I don't care what you support or said. It has nothing to do with the sale of the Ohlins, I don't need a cheerleader on my side. Back to the Ohlins, and not the drama queens! |

If you reallllly want someone to stop going OT, then you yourself should stop going OT; this post I quoted is itself OT. I am not preaching that you should stop going OT, you are preaching that I should go OT, thus I don't need to follow by example and stop replying to you. Don't expect someone to listen to you if you don't lead by example; this goes for everything. I never expect those who work under me to do something, or not do something, if I myself don't lead by example. Just a small hint: if you reply to me and go OT, you're not leading by example; just a helpful hint! Nonetheless, even if I deleted my own posts, it's meaningless as there are several posts by numerous members that would in turn also need to be deleted (to take all of the OT posts out). Quicker and more efficient for one individual to do one act rather than multiple individuals doing multiple acts; simple and basic principles of life.

Hi,
new around here. Not very familiar with 4-wheel suspensions but pretty familiar with ohlins goodies for the 2-wheel toys. Ohlins tend to have a narrower "sweet spot" compared to say penske counterparts.,, meaning they have to be dialed in just right to have them work really well... often requires a knowledgable technician by your side. However, when dialed in, there arent many better out there. Also, the top shelf suspension goodies should be serviced relatively frequently (bc they are made for racing!). |

So 80% of the time when people complain of a bouncy car, they have the wrong spring rates vs matched shocks. If you install 1000lbs. springs over the e9xm3s EDC shocks, your going to have a 'bone-jarring' ride. You have to match springs to a chassis, then have properly valved shocks to match the springs and suspension travel. These Ohlins will have their spring rate range and suspension travel range. If you put street rate springs on them (say 600/400) the shocks will have to work harder and be rebuilt more often. The ride will be better then OE as these shocks can handle a wider range of compression and rebound. Like i said, that would be a waste of talent (like using a helicopter to fly 300 feet). These shocks should be used on the track with proper springs. Ohlins, Penske and Sachs Motorsport = the best motorsport shock technology on this rock. The 2-wheel Ohlins market is what keeps the bills paid. Last edited by mastek; 12-28-2011 at 11:55 AM.. |
