Hello, I was looking at buying some ohlins off of RHDJapan due to the cost savings, but they have 3 different kinds while if you buy them from sakebomb there's just the one kind. I understand what the different uppermounts are, but if anyone has any insight as to which one I should buy that would be amazing, as one of them listed does not even have an upper mount in the description. Thank you guys!

What's the purpose? Are yours just worn out?

 

I'm looking to buy the complete coilover, it's just 2 of them listed on the website specifically say the type of upper mounts and are cheaper than the one that doesn't say anything, so I am curious which one to get or if anyone has experience buying these.

 

You should buy the one that best matches your use case for what you use the car for.

I realize that probably wasn't helpful, but you never told us what you use your car for, so no one can give better advice than that.

 

Most useless answer ever. Here’s some proper advice..

Pillowball top mounts have zero compliance, That means they transmit a lot of road noise and vibration, but are very consistent. Good on the track.

Rubber top mounts have a little flex, so they don’t transmit as much noise and vibration to the chassis, Better on the street. Slight compromise on the track. As the S2000 is a dual A arm suspension design, the compromise on track for rubber top mounts would be difficult for all but the most sensitive driver to feel. If you’re not running spherical bearings in your arms or even poly bushes I would certainly recommend the rubber bushing top mounts.

I hope this helps. Great coilovers.

Cheers,
