Ohlins are well worth the extra money. Even if you have the money for Tein, wait till you can afford Ohlins. Its the damper that makes a car. I've experienced enough Japanese dampers that are more marketing than R&D. They will pretty much save precious time off those lap times and be more comfortable for daily. Way more responsive to road conditions (ohlin pcv= sub valve for faster reactions on compression / ohlin= DFV has sub valves on bump/rebound)

that m3 is bad ass.
Nice to have some educated suspension crew here. |
I'm on the fence between an FCM setup and the Ohlins. FWIW the guys at Performance Shock are steering me away from Ohlins. The lighter seals in the Ohlins means better performance on track, but are much more delicate and definitely not ideal for a DD. These are definitely not like Bilstiens that can go 100k mi without a rebuild. He quoted me $95+parts/shock for the yearly maintenance (basically an oil change) and $180+parts/shock for a rebuild. Add that to the cost of realigning and cornerweighting, it adds up quick.
OTOH they are much lighter and oooh soo sexy... |
Depends on your perspective on a rebuild. If you daily your vehicle, they all put wear and tear on your damper. Its not to be associated with dampers being blown. You have to remember that Dampers are a wear and tear item so they will slowly degrade in performance. Top manufactures Ohlins, Penske, Bilstein, Koni recommend getting them reconditioned to maintain them in spec condition.
Interesting that Bruce would steer you away from the Ohlins |

All I have to say is that if you want comfort, stay away from the Koni Races...if you want something that is easy to drive fast on the track, look at koni races...Oh and relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things...
