Has anyone else saw the new kit thats available for the MKV, Was in this months PVW. It looks the BIZ
-
If ohlins bike stuff is anything to go by it will be SH1T HOT!!
-
Ohlins stuff is top drawer, a pal of mine has his own suspension tuning company that does the BSB/WSB stuff on the bikes, if the car stuff is as good it will be very interesting :happy2:
-
Good freind off mine, Who is RALLY DAFT and has been doing most off the work on my car sugested to me to look into a simlar type of kit, Thought he was mad :rolleye: But after seeing the the kit i can see where hes coming from. Will be calling them on monday to find out more.
-
links please
-
www.roadandtrackbyohlins.com, Its the R/T range. They only list for a MKV in the VAG group. Hope this helps
-
ohlins are mega! would love a set... my friend had a set of brand new BMW world touring car dampers in his workshop and i was half tempted to accidently slip them into my car when i was down there :smiley:
New kit looks good too :happy2:
-
Looks like these are the ones i will be going for, But wont be getting fitted till all the other parts are purchased, i.e Bushes, Arbs, and anti-lift kit.
-
Spoke to the guy from Ohlins today, Its only a MACPHERSON type shock he will be selling, Not the the coilover kit that was shown in this months PVW. [SAD TIMES] :rolleye:
-
Chris Witter is the UK guy from Ohlins - he's a mate of a mate let me know what you need if you're the first one to run them I'll get you a price.
It is uber good stuff
-
Just read a thread on VW TUNING MAG about these, Gives you a bit more details than my post. They will supply Front and Rear shockers only, Still looks very interesting, After getting let down with the delivery time on the KW V3s these might be the answer :confused:
-
whats the going rate for a set of these shocks??

I know you feel a bit let down mate but being a pioneer on any new kit disregarding the reputation that Ohlins stuff hasits downfalls.
V3 = Solid Product, thoroughly tested, fantastic performance + worth waiting for imho
-
vRSy The price that was listed in PVW was £1750ish, Dave i know what your saying, Having all this stuff sitting here waiting to go on is doing MA NUT IN :jumping: After leaving yours on thurs night i was in the boozer for 10.30 :drinking:
-
Thats some going in a volvo mate :booty:
-

-

-

Ohlins are the king of suspensions. :happy2:
-
Heard rumours they will do a coilover for the Mk.V/VI as well.
-
They do Steve p car had them fitted for a while when it was owned by vw racing
-
Yes, pure custom made race stuff I guess.
But they plan to release an ''affordable'' street coilover, though ''affordable'' is a relative thing at Öhlins . . .
:driver:
-
No they were non race stuff on the mk5 I am sure of it. If it was me and had money to burn then I would be looking at NItron shocks with remote damper adjustment :drool:
-
There are so many suspensions I'd like to have if I had the money.
First the Öhlins, then Sachs racing (as in the GTI24), Bilstein racing, KW competition 3-way . . .

Uffff... Not yours :sad1:....
-
Where's the tissues... :notworthy:
-
Thats a 4WD platform isn't it :party:
-
I think it's an S3 (there is a nice view of the rear axle).
But... how do the rear (& front) springs stay in place???
There is nothing to keep them aligned. Is pressure alone enough to keep them together?

You can see the outer bolt is removed from the wishbone, once this is pushed up and the bolt is inserted, the spring is compressed slightly holding everything in place

It's a Mk.VI R. :wink:
Look at the strange rear height adjuster. Guess you can make adjustments from below.

So its an S3 in a golfs frock then :smiley:
I hadn't noticed TBH, but looks like a good idea, you could adjust just by jacking and not taking the wheel off
-
Anyone already running these?
