I'll be getting an alignment soon and will be tracking the car a bunch in July, so I'll be able to give more impressions as we get deeper into next month, but so far so good. Still feels great, very satisfied, I do notice the higher spring rate in the rear but I still find the ride to be compliant. Long story short, still loving it!

The location of the spring is one of the reasons for such high spring rates. Many days of street, track and 7 post shaker rig testing verified this is what works on the R&T. |

Also, so far, how would you compare it to the OEM passive, in more specific, precise terms? Say, if the OEM is a 5/10, are the Ohlins a 6/10, or a 9/10? In terms of comfort, handling, etc. Thanks! |

Mr. Tofu, the kit looks great.
Pre-alignment questions: How is the brake dive with these coilovers? My main contention with the stock suspension is that is has way too much brake dive... my M235i has no brake dive at all despite it not being a "proper M-car". You say the suspension is a bit more harsh, which is expected in performance-oriented suspensions like these. I am fine with this personally. In theory, road bumps should be more uncomfortable, but at the same time they should be less unsettling because the car's secondary body motions post-bump are greatly reduced, i.e. the car settles faster. Have you found this to be the case? |

OHlins R&T will provide much needed rebound damping that is lacking with the OEM dampers.

Right around 10-20mm, maybe just a bit more. These aren't meant to slam your car into the weeds type of coilovers.
Ohlins had these months ago, but they landed without springs therefore the slight delay in shipping until now. |
