RobSheffield Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I believe there was an OEM option of Ohlins suspension, is that correct? Do Ohlins make a set for the Supra? Any details? Tried the Ohlins website, which listed a UK supplier (Aurok) but their website is down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the Ohlins website, which listed a UK supplier (Aurok) but their website is down. Ohlins Japan made a set - never heard of an OEM upgrade to them though. I believe Top Secret used to sell them. CW said that they arn't the right spec for UK roads though, too harsh, the piston too small. Ohlins UK/Europe will provide you with a working set though - all they will need to know are some measurements Mick Gardener Racing rings a bell as a contact in the UK.

I recall CW saying the JDM one was expensive and badly suited, but a cheaper Euro setup is out there somewhere. Didnt Ryan buy some for his track car?

Na I wouldn't say too harsh at all mate in fact they're a nice ride on the road been in alot worse. Tho my car is more set up for the track .

dandan Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 One of ours has them - and I assume they were fitted in Japan as an aftermarket part. It's a firm ride but not as firm as Tein HA's. Overall I would say they ride well on all but the very worst the UK roads have to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
