Ohlins R/T Question
I've had the Ohlins R/T on the car for about 1.5 years now, put 23k kms daily driven on it.
I started using it with 12/12 clicks f/r for daily use. Now I'm beginning to feel that it's a bit soft, but I'm not sure if it's just me, or if the dampers have softened up with use. Question - For those of you on Ohlins R/T, have you had to firm up the damping cos the dampers got soft over time? And if yes, at what mileage did you start adding stiffness to the dampers? TIA. |

Have you checked your tire pressures recently? Reduced tire pressures will result in a softer, bouncier ride and this is not controlled (damped) by the dampers.
On my R56 Mini Cooper S, I had to have my R&T dampers serviced at < 15k miles - significantly lower mileage than what Ohlins states/recommends (~30k miles). They were used on the street only. |

What type of roads do you drive on? Are you running the supplied spring rates that come with the kit? |

Roads are pretty bad, potholes and the like. I also do hill runs occasionally (8/8 clicks) and 2-3 trackdays a year (4/4) clicks.
The last hill run I did I still felt damping firm up when I reduced the clicks. |

What is the cost to service Ohlins RT? Is it worth it to just buy a set new vs. used?
