Ohlins Coilovers From Greenline

[Merli]

Anyone know anything about these?

Spring rates?

Are they made in Japan or Sweden?

Waste of money? (About $4000-ish)

All of the remote reservoir Ohlins I have seen have been made in Sweden. If so their new price is a bit over $8K.

i have these exact ones.

awesome.

check out yahoo auctions though, sets do come up between 2-3K

here's their Japan website

i think my spring rates were 12/10 or something, they've been replaced by 8/6 kg/mm

I also have the same ones. very good shocks, but to be honest with 20 levels of bump and 30 of rebound totalling 600 different settings per shock you are in for a lot of time to get them set just right. or do the smart thing, when you get them take them to heasmans, get them on the shock dyno and have them give you a base starting point.

oh, and I'm pretty sure they will be made in japan (personally I don't think it matters).

Some of the Ohlins bodies for JDM cars are made in the Yamaha shock plant, but the internals (shafts, pistons, valves) come from Sweden. It's not as black and white as it used to be.

BB is quite right, you can easily end up with nothing but a brain pain if you don't know how to tune shock settings. Believe it or not, harder is not always better, in fact the opposite is mostly true.
