Air cup lift kit compatible with Ohlins R/T?

TTony · 12-06-2018, 11:25 PM

I'm sick and tired of going through carbon fiber front lips... so I've been searching for an air cup lift kit to work with Ohlins R/T kit. I believe the Ohlins has progressive springs so the "generic" air cup lift kits won't work. I'm not sure if the air cup can be modified to fit the Ohlins springs or if there is another solution?

Ohlins R/T springs are not progressive.

Can't you just swap to linear springs? Must be 61mm ID at least though

Any luck? I will be running swift spring on my R&T and this ability would be Fing awesome. No more worries about damaging my lip etc.

They never responded to me. I don't trust companies that don't reply/want my money. I'm not going to track them down.
