I am working with a suspension shop in NC who builds suspensions for many of the teams that participate in US series: NASCAR, endurance racing, etc...knows his stuff. Ohlins put me in touch with him as he sells more of their stuff in the US than any other shop. He is going to put together a bolt in Ohlins Road and Track setup for the Backdraft. Single adjustable shock with Ohlins DFV valving, adjustable camber plates, I think separate spring preload and ride height adjustment. I am going with a 300f/600r spring rates and will see how that is as a compromise for an occasional track day car. I am getting him some parts from the original setup now as a reference and hope to have it in the car by late Jan. Keep in mind, with such a setup you will need to find a shop that can corner balance the car once ride height is set to get the most out of it. I will report back on fit and finish and ride quality once it's in the car. The fact that the stock front shock expands enough to allow the spring to unseat makes for a low bar to exceed the original setup.
