Yes, i agree on that they are too highly sprung for the street, especially with 20" wheels. They have changed the spring rates at the rear from 230 lb to 190 on all kits since about three years back. Valving is the same.

Didn't buy any EDC delete kit yet. Man I feel those are super overpriced.

I have had my Ohlins R/T's for about a year with GC camber plates (coded out the EDC). Not a single complaint yet. I am @ 15 clicks. Rides and handles better than stock, especially stock with lowering springs. The only time you can really notice a difference where it's not as comfortable as stock is large sharp bumps/potholes but I am also set to almost as low as they go which I am sure doesn't help.

I've had Ohlins for another car and I felt they were a bit disappointing... they weren't very compliant during slow speed day-to-day driving. However high speed was pretty good. I would probably look into better suspension. And about EDC... I feel the same way... comfort feels like sport which isn't to say much... comfort can be a bit jarring.

interesting, I had the Ohlins RT on a 350z and they were very good all around, comfort was good in day to day driving and I would forget I had aftermarket suspension with spring rates several times higher than OEM. Unfortunately had limited track experience w/ them so just left settings as is and they did fine. In fact I wanted to go Ohlins for the M3 but after reading the snafu on the rear as well as limited clearance I went with MCS singles.

My original plan for the F80 (w/ EDC) was just pads and separate wheels/tires. Honestly was not impressed with the EDC in any setting.

I just ordered a set. How do you like your MCS? I chose the 1 way for daily and light track use.
