Basically there are two types of Ohlins, ones that are made in Sweden and the ones made in Japan under license.

What he was saying is that the Swedish Ohlins >> Jap Ohlins >> Tein Monoflex > HKS Hipermax

I see... cheers :bomb_ie:

Guees the next question is how much better are the Jap Ohlins compared to Tein monoflex... worth the price difference better?

Depends on the spring rates, typically the Yamahas have rediculously high spring rates and I would recommend that they be changed. Typically the Tein monoflex only have high (not rediculously high) spring rates and so you might get away with not changing them. The cost of changing spring rates may make the Yamahas not such good value for money.

Well someone should report the seller of the Ohlins to ebay for selling things he does not even own. Thos shocks are for sale on yahoo at the moment, exact pics and all and from what i can see its a small private trader in Japan, so not a guy trading on yahoo and ebay :blush:

Yeh i sent the guy a message to contact me before paying for them as the Ohlins auction ended today and the guy has already ended his ebay auction. So if he doesnt win the shocks on yahoo then the Aus buyer could be getting stuffed around. Especially since they sold for way under what they went for on yahoo. Poor Aussie buyer is getting dooped.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
