The new Ohlins kit compares as follows to their other kits:
New 1-Series Kit / 1M Kit / 3-Series Kit / Typical Swift modified 3-Series Kit (me)
Front Rate (N/mm): 70 / 60 / 60 / 60
Front Length (mm): 180 / 200 / 200 / 178
Rear Rate (N/mm): 120 / 110 / 70 / 140
Rear Length (mm): 230 est / 250 / 250 / 228
Rear Aduster Height (mm): 50 / 37 / 62 / 50
It looks like Ohlins has not strayed from what has been shown to work on the 1-Series. Their new 1-Series kit should work just fine out of the box. In particular their choice of a 180 mm long front spring should solve the tire clearance issue that required us to go to 178 mm (7") long Swift springs when starting from the 3-Series kit.
