Ohlins Road and Track DFV instalation settings

Post by KennethP934 »

Now that I have the Koni setup done and good (after my mistake!) I have the ohlins to go on other 2017 ND RF. I have the lower weight set of springs and wondering what the starting settings for your recommended at 13.25 front height, 13.5 rear. Unless this is not recommended for the RF.

I need to measure them on the bench and do not have the factory stuff to estimate the length, starting point or tricks, tips would be great thanks

Thank you

I would start full soft and see what you think.

If that feels too bouncy, start adding clicks toward stiffer until you reach the best compromise for you. Yes, heights 13.25 front and 13.5 rear is where we start soft top and RF customers. Expect that OEM bushings in the factory arms will shift with the miles ahead and settle the car lower and typically I tell folks do some miles before alignment and adjust the heights back up to 13.25 and 13.5 and once heights are stable go for the alignment (typically 100 to 200 miles).
