Sneak Peek: Ohlins R&T with Ground Control Adjustable Camber Plates

Starting to see a number of these combos going through the doors, just wanted to take some quick pictures of the Ohlins/Ground Control assembly before its tucked away underneath the M3.

Components
Ohlins Road & Track DFV Coilover System
Ground Control Adjustable Street Camber Plates











This should provide a considerable upgrade in handling both on the street and track use.

Things looking great! I'd be pulling my wheels off weekly just to admire them. Curiously, is there any dampening pad included for the top coil on the front assemblies?

The RT kit comes with springs that are the same diameter as OEM on the top. This means that you can use the OEM Upper Guide Support and spring pad. On the aftermarket side the Vorshlag camber plates use the OEM spring pad and it appears that the GC CP don't use a spring pad at all.


EAS has a nice deal going on in March when you buy the RT kit & Vorshalg CP's.

I have the Competition Pack which means my car is 10cm lower than standard and I would like to upgrade the suspension without lowering the car at all from its current setting, as I do a lot of driving in London with lots of ramps, kerbs etc.

Am I able to do that with this Ohlins kit or is the highest setting still lower than my existing ride height?

Think you mean your car is 10mm lower. I have Competition Package and may buy these to lower for aesthetic reasons. I do not track my car and would leave suspension alone and maintain all the electronic bells and whistles if keeping the the ride height the same.

Yeah, you're right 10mm lower, thanks....I won't edit my post otherwise your comment will look strange...

Well, I'm just thinking about suspension as I do track my car occasionally but most of my driving is on urban roads.

Its a bit more common request than some would think.

There's quite a wide range for adjustment on the adjustment collars to cover standard or lowered heights, not a problem at all.

Tom,

If you're absolutely sure of that can you please PM me a price for the kit plus the camber plates and whatever you use to deal with the EDC error messages. (I have an Alcon big brake kit front and rear with the 19" Competition Pack wheels if that makes any difference for clearances etc - I do not want to run spacers). Delivered to London, UK.

Cheers

Jack
