I scored a used set (all four) of S14 adjustable ohlins coilovers from some fly-by-night Canadian importer on E-bay. They were a bit beat up, so before even installing them I shipped them off to Ohlins USA last week, for a rebuild, and replacement of whatever is needed. They came with some mystery Rs*R springs, and I've asked Curtis over there at Ohlins USA in SC to measure their rates for me and also to find out what the spring rates are that Ohlins reccomends for these. He told me that he can order a new set for me any day of the week for about $3000.

MMDB, what did you mean by, "Ohlins are designed for high speed dampening."

All dampers have specific characteristics at both low and high speed movements. Ohlins has become well known for their advancements in digressive valving technology.

How could this, "be undesirable for certain setups"?

Are you refering to a drag race set-up?
