Well I have had them in for about a week now. Noticeable difference in cornering, gone is the subtle sway into hard corners, and in its place a car that seeks the apex of the turn with confidence However you do feel a lot more of the road, but is not intorable, actually I like it better than the stock feel. The back end of the car seems to be planted to the ground better too, but without giving up the tail happiness altogether. I still there, but not as dramatic . I do not have any pics yet, but soon will post them.

The install went well, but it happened that the front coilovers were much more difficult than the rear. We expected the rear to give us some problems because lack of space, but they were no problem. The front however required some effort . Also the ride height from Olhins was a little to low, from the factory is was about 1 1/2 drop, which I was surprised with due to the fact That Ohlins website recommends no less than a 5/8 inch drop from factory. My tech took care of the ride height yesterday, and it is much better in the turns, and most importantly no rubbing from the front wheels .

I would definitely recommend Ohlins as a top choice for coilovers.

Very nice!
I remember Comptech doing R&D on these over a year ago.
I glad that they finally started selling them!
YES, they are expesnive, but I remember Shad at Comptech raving about them!
