I'm sorry if I missed it, what model Ohlins are you using? Have you tracked them yet? If I were building a dream set up it would be a decision between Motons, Ohlins and Sachs. The Ohlins seem to have some of the finest adjustment abilities, for really dialing a car in. Have you tracked the car or corner balanced it at all?

I am utilizing the top of the line Ohlins produced for the S2000, the Ohlins Flag-S Coilovers, but with Hyperco Race Springs. I just had them installed last week so I haven't had much time to adjust them, let alone take it to the track just yet. I still have to dial in my height and get the car aligned. From what I understand, these are the Euro-spec model Ohlins and are pretty difficult to find here in the U.S. I've only seen a few floating around the boards, including the ones on my car, a set my buddy used to own, the set on Diez's car, and a beat up set for sale on craigslist, locally.

I never set the two correlate I'm just stating that after doing some research on s2ki and online, it was quite difficult finding information regarding these specific coilovers. However, after getting in touch with certain parties, I found that the Ohlins Flag Series coilovers are the top of the line models and that ohlins produces 4 types: the type R (GTR), type S (S2K), type I (Impreza), and the Type L (Evo). I was saying that they are hard to find and that answering his question about the suspension's adjustability would be difficult in that I haven't had the time to test the suspension, nor find any other relevant information regarding the adjustability online. plus, he asked a question regarding what kind of Ohlins they were, so I was just giving him the information that I was able to gather online in that there really isn't much information about them anywhere. I tried researching on s2ki, but I had only found a handful of sources and only 2 other members that actually had these on their cars, which I had stated in my last post in which you evidently over-analyzed.
