One maybe stupid question, is it possible to mount the fronts in the rear and the rears in the front? That way the springs rates match much better the rear biased spring rate it has from factory. Or, is there a way to do this? I really like the Öhlins and everyone is happy with them, but I don't like them to be softer in the rear than in the front.
Or, is it possible to ordered them with custom spring rates directly from Öhlins?

Springs do fit both places though.

...and especially with adjustable dampers you can get away with some amount of changing spring rate without revalving.
But to swap front and rear springs with this much disparity without revalving seems a bridge too far.
Revalving ups the cost considerably. What was a tremendous value off the shelf for what you got (the previous Ohlins at the $2k price), suddenly starts becoming less and less appealing if you want to change rates and revalve.

From what sakebomb has said is that the valving has def changed and is different from from the previous kit.

I'm far from a suspension expert (complete opposite in fact lol) but I did buy a set of the MI-21's for my car in the spring (road car) and I'm more than happy with the purchase. I have confidence in the engineering and expertise of Ohlins to produce a solid product.

Hi,
I would really like to know what material they use for the Nylon rings,
ID: 64.6mm
OD: 84mm
Thickness: 2mm
Could somebody do me favor and weigh/measure one of the rings for me.
Based on the dimensions and my calculations they should weigh around 5-6grams:
filled with at least 25% glass fibers: >6.0grams
Thank you for your help.
