Rylan has a set. You can look at the ohlins site to get a little more info.

You can find technical info on the MCJ shocks on the Ohlins site.

Spring rates are 308 ft/lbs & 365 ft/lbs rear.

High quality build with large pistons (almost as big as motons)
They soften up nicely for the street and get very stiff for the track. Each click is makes a nice linear difference in firmness.

0 clicks = full stiff to ~25 clicks to full soft. I drive on the street at about 16 which is a bit stiffer than stock.

I run the springs backwards using the 365s front and 308s rear keep which helps w/ real wheel lift and keeps the rear solidly planted.

At thunderhill I was running 0 clicks in the rear and 2 clicks in the front.
At Laguna I was running 2 clicks in the rear and 3 in the front.

My only complaint is that they are only single adjustable. But for 99.99999% of you, its more adjustablity than you need and the less "axis of control" the eaiser for the average go fast junkie to tune

Each click controls the rebound rate mainly (and compression slightly).

Interesting you only have 25 clicks of adjustment...i believe i have 25 clicks on the rear and something like 50 clicks on the front. I drive 20 clicks front and rear on the streets.

no there is no limit the # of clicks. The docs just say that if you unscrew too much you'll completely open the needle valve and be SOL.

So I've never gone past 25.

A wuss is someone who drives any higher than 20 clicks on the street.

Rylan,

thanks for the review and info. Much appreciated. Keep us posted on how you like them as you do a few more events, and drive more street miles on 'em.

Thanks,

Ted
