I've recently purchased a set of used Ohlins coilovers from a seller on ebay. When I asked them for more information, and to specify which model they are, they did not know. I went ahead and ordered them anyways, since the price they were asking I felt was very reasonable and I've never heard a single bad thing about anything Ohlins. After my purchase, I Emailed a picture of the coils to Ohlins USA, and got this response:

"Hey JC,

Those look to be JDM/grey-market imports: Öhlins worked with the Japanese distributor to create these one-off kits that were never meant to leave Japan. As a result there's no model number, parts, information, or general specs available to us.

Thanks, and please let me know if there is anything else we can do for you.

-Jake"

Does anyone know any more information about these "grey market" Ohlins coilovers? I cannot find anything anywhere! I can't even find a single picture of a set that looks like these do. It appears the front is equipped with swift springs, and the rears are still Ohlins springs. Thanks in advance for any replies.
