Who's got Ohlins fitted to their car? Thoughts? Any comparisions to the Nitrons?

Tossing up between these two for a suspension upgrade this year.

What's wrong with the bilsteins, and which ones do you have?

 

PSS9's. Nothing wrong with the Bilsteins, although they're probably due for a rebuild. Looking for something 2-way adjustable.

 

Me - IIRC, the OEMs were made by Ohlins. Hence the external reservoir.

 

I believe the OEMs are Showa

 

Showa and Honda make sense - all honda bikes tend to have Showa suspension

Yamaha owned Ohlins for a while.

 

Ohlins have been long regarded as the dog's danglies in the bike world, some Honda teams were evem ditching showa infavour of them mid last season!

Not seen them widely used on cars though, might be worth a look on some elise forums as thats one of the cars i've seen both nitrons and ohlins on before.

 

Showa makes more sense. But I got the idea from somewhere...

 

Ohlins are fairly popular in the off road motor sport world, I know a few guys who use them, usually migrated from Fox.

There is a company in Hampshire call AUROK who specialise in Ohlins Shocks, I would recommend chatting to them if you want to go down the Ohlins route.

 

KW Clubsports would be my choice on a compettition car Matt.
