I'm just getting around to installing my suspension finally and it looks like there's no spring perch included for the front or back. The Ohlins instructions don't mention it either; does this seem odd to anyone or did you Ohlin's owners have the same setup.

I got Sakebomb's F-Sport DFV setup. Just want to make sure i don't mess these up before i put them on the car.

FPSport or FPSpec? I had the same question when I got my kit as well. The clarification is: the FPSpec comes with a spherical top bearing/top spring perch whereas with the FPSport the spring sits directly under the camber plate, no separate top spring perch/spherical top mount.

FPSport should look similar to this:

I have the FSport so that explains it! Thanks Chris I appreciate it! Now I can get back to the preload process.

thanks for the chart noodels! now my problem is that with the recommended preload in place (2mm) on the rears. I can't get the locking nut low enough for the adjuster to engage properly. I've been putting the locking nuts on by hand with a wrench.

Is it ok to put a impact gun on it? it doesn't look it'll hold up well to that sort of abuse.

Could be wrong but per my conversations with Sakebomb this chart does not apply to FPsport. Set the 2mm preload then set height with the forks.

pics?

giant pic, I've seen other installs and I feel like there should be another more thread at the top.

Yeah that does not look correct.
Loosen the lower spring perch so there is no load on the spring then you will see how much more thread there is for the top nut.
Maybe not completely ok to use a impact gun on the nut but if you are careful it wont do any harm.
