Ohlins + Sti Pink Springs Combination Question

Postby Jiyujin » Mon Jul 25, 2016 8:24 am

Hey all,

Were these readily available from Ohlins? If so, how much would they go for?
Also, what kind of ride would these have on a BP over the Bilstein + Sti Pink Springs?

Cheers!

NZ guy on there has them. Not with pink springs though, and not a whole load of info on them, have adjustable dampening so they should be fairly good once they're set up right.

If they are non height adjustable Ohlins dfv they should be good.

They're not. They're just an STi branded shock and spring combination produced by Ohlins, which was later superseded to this.

Jslayz,

I have the Ohlins DFV coilovers on my BP at the moment but the ride is too hard when taking my elderly mother to the doctors. So, am looking for a softer and more comfortable driving experience. Would like to stay away from coilovers..

Cheers!

Andy_mac,

Hopefully the set up will be good, but they are few and far between. Maybe a few in NZ??
