Title: Ohlins struts
Post by: padams2002 on January 06, 2004, 01:17:49 PM
I\'m using Ohlins struts which offers awesome handling but rides too low. The front tires rub on wheel arches on full lock.

The Ohlins I\'ve got don\'t seem to have the typical treaded shaft to adjust the spring base height.

Anyone know how these are adjusted?

You would need to speak to a suspension company about getting some correct poundage longer springs.

Ohlins have a UK office in Chessington, Surrey maybe they could help.

Will Eibach pro kit springs fit with these Ohlins struts?

There are many different types of springs on the market. Your best option is take it to a professional suspension company and let them have a look.

Leda would be able supply springs for it, but you would have to know the poundage needed.
