VSA issues after Ohlins Install
Hey all
I can’t seem to find a definitive answer so here I am. My VSA is super finicky now after I installed my Ohlins. Drop is what I would call pretty conservative- not even an inch. While cornering mild corners the VSA kicks on when this has never happened with stock suspension. Even happens sometimes when accelerating hard while turning into a normal turn. I have always driven spiritedly in the twisties and have never had this issue with stock dampers and springs. Tires are wheels are all the same as before. Is this something I should be worried about? What is everyone else’s experience? Thanks!!

I can’t say for sure that I didn’t but I was pretty careful. Had the car aligned and the performance shop didn’t say anything… would they have known if they saw it? I’ll check though… not sure what to look for but I’ll see lol
it doesn’t happen ALL the time or else I would be super worried. It only happens sometimes but like I said, I haven’t changed my driving style and stock dampers never gave me any traction issues.

Try softer,mine are as soft as i can get them,very comfy,
try as soft as possible and harden them until you get it the way you like. Mine is about 18 from full stiff atm ithink ?
Springs used and spring preload all factor in ?

Everything seems to be working as it should. It appears you're just losing traction in situations where you weren't before.
The problem you're trying to solve is that you're losing traction too easily on one end of the car. Either its understeering, oversteering, or there's a wheel speed differential.
Assuming you're driving the same way you were before, start with simple.
Has it gotten colder? Any changes with the tires? Are you sure the rear tires/wheels ended up on the rear of the car?
Did you align the car after installing the coilovers?

Hard to say exactly what the "problem" is. It might just be a matter of VSA being "restrictive" and not liking too much/fast rotation that you are now getting with the coilovers. For tracked cars it's common for VSA to need to be disabled. When I switched to a square setup I now have to disable VSA after starting the car as the car turns in very sharply/quickly that it engages VSA. Not a big deal, just turn it off.
