So I've been running the Ohlins for a year now and really pleased with them. However I do find a slight floatiness to the ride especially at the front when just driving normally. I've tried firming up the dampers but that is slightly counterproductive making it too harsh.

I believe firmer spring rates could help but is it possible to adjust the preload to reduce some of the initial travel out of the spring. i.e increase the preload. Its set at ohlins recommended 194mm but was thinking of 190mm and then adjusting the height barrel to compensate as it will lift the car.

Its the front that I feel needs some fine tuning and as this is a progressive spring would my suggestion work?

Any experience from you guys on this would be much appreciated.

Cheers
