Any suggestions? These are things often overlooked by people as they hype a product based on a brand name. I'll be sure to compare and contrast to the YCW (which have a short stroke that I've complained about). The car in general has a lot of packaging constraints which limits what you can do especially when lowering the car. There is a limit in how short the strut body can be though while still being able to operate with limited hysteresis. External reservoir might be the way to go ultimately but right now I am invested in the idea of these new "dedicated track" Ohlins being a simple plug and play suspension that performs.
