Haha, the other side of race/track car…Have you driven, or been a passenger, in a car with MCS 2/3/4WR or Ohlins TTX 2/3/4-way or Moton MS 2/3/4-way dampers with street rates? If not, you’d be amazed by their performance and comfort. It’s indescribable because people don’t believe you unless they’ve experienced it for themselves. I have a MCS 2WR setup on my wife’s f22 m240ix with street rates and she could immediately feel the difference between the stock and MCS suspensions. It’s spoiled her! She wants our g20 330ix to handle the same way.
Those who know are blown away when they get in my setup. Is it rough? Yeah. But outside huge bumps it won’t kill you. Yet, with solid aluminum subframe bushings and black race on the diff PLUS Ohlins dedudicated set to 15 clicks, it’s not unbearable.

Yet you can then take an off ramp @ 75 marked for 15 with the front end still waiting for a STEEPER turn in. Just f’fing stupid for a car designed almost 20 years ago. Just great match for our cars the Ohlins. Then go to 1 - 5 clicks depending on the track and flat out the car is better than 9/10 drivers at any even I got to. If I added a top of the line BBK with cups I’d venture to guess it may offer more than anyone not a professional could extract.

Cheers,

Other than, “I love my Ohlin setup” which is great. I’m not sure what else I’m supposed to take away from these posts?

I was responding to the guy trying to calm one of the other posters about the ability to take these setups on the road.

I hope this wasn’t supposed to be an informative video. So many things were stated incorrectly.

For the guy who asked the question above OmairK - and hadn’t even heard of the brand, the video was more than enough of an introduction.

Fair enough but people who watch the video will come away with knowledge that’s just plain wrong. A video showing their TTX line would really explain what Ohlins is all about.

To be clear, I wasn’t knocking you for posting. He does have endless high production quality content. Just his “perspective” is nonsense.

I had it set to ZCP ride height as per this thread:

https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1315426

It will sag a little after 1k kms so you might want to check ride height again after that. The damper will also break in a bit after 1k kms and the ride will be a bit less harsh.

Don't remember what height the kit came set at from factory. I would not assume that it's set to correct height from factory. Remember to also adjust your sway bar drop link collars so that the link ball joints are at the correct angles.

Thanks!

The link ball joints angle are described in TIS/ISTA-D or i'll just put them same as previous OEM links?
