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.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
