A friendly bump by including what the Ohlins suspension looks like the new Aventador as seen during the 12 Hrs of Sebring

Ohlins R&T has further delays and will likely be summer before they are released.

I will head up there either the week of 23rd or the week of the 30th (of this month), have them installed and tweaked...do an autox/trackday...get a feel for them, report back and do shake rig testing. at that point...i can ask when they can start taking orders, etc. it shouldn't be very much longer...hang in there! |

will it include standard top mount, or will it use cylindrical springs and camber plates in the front?
I would like to have the option to keep the OEM front top mount plates with the "big" diameter springs |

Stupid question but is this something that Ohlins (Öhlins) in Sweden can sell locally also? Would be interesting as well I do live in Sweden... ;-)

lucky dog! from what Ohlins USA is telling me...they are working directly with Ohlins Sweden and reporting the log (shake rig) data for them so that Ohlins Sweden will supply the proper parts for all of Ohlins shops. I think you should be good to go soon as well, but I will need to verify how this all works with Jeff when I talk to him again.

Just want to make sure that everybody is getting the correct information, again, this 1M kit is NOT a R&T product. There is a R&T kit coming for the E92 and E46 M3, these are the kits that are due towards the end of the summer. These will be single adjustable DFV units. Looking forward to seeing the completed units for your car.

It seems that when TTX is mentioned everyone assumes that the price tag is super over the top. The TTX suspension that we built for AE Performance included a 4-way TTX46 front strut and 4-way rear ILX (TTX inline). We decided to build a lower cost version for E92 M3 track enthusiasts, that would offer excellent performance at a reduced cost. We were still able to do this including a TTX rear shock in our kit. As far as the kit that Ohlins is working on for your car, I would say that Ohlins builds a top quality product and I'm sure it will be a great kit. Of course I would consider Ohlins products if I was seeking suspension options for my track car. As far as my conversations with Ohlins USA about this kit, I have only been told of what dampers are being used, I do not have any pricing or kit release dates as of yet. When I have more information, we will be sure to add the product to our website as we are an Ohlins Master WD (motorsport and road & track).

Would you be able to supply for a RHD? There is pretty much no support for Ohlins here in Australia. I know the weight distribution however is different for LHD and RHD.

get them installed next week. and you'll be able to order after the shake rig testing (once they've completed the final R&D). very very soon. Pete is aware of this as well. Call Ohlins USA (in Hendersonville, NC) and speak with Jeff Baucom on the progression of R&D, pricing and ordering status.

For those of you who are waiting...I should have some updates for you later today (along with some pictures). This is just the initial fitment, but hopefully everything works out and I can give you some initial thoughts from the ride home.
