Ohlins R&T Set up Question

After dialing in a semi-street/track alignment with our mutual shop in town (you know which one I am talking about) and after driving around for a bit, I felt that it was too aggressive and absolutely unnecessary. To be fair, they did caution me, and I knew what I was getting myself into as the original plan was to hit the track with the regional PCA club, then COVID lockdowns happened so that never materialized.

I went back to a much more milder street setting and quite happy with it. If your car is only going to be for the street, lowering it may not be all the bees knees as its made out to be. My biggest regret was lowering the car - the car scrapes on parking lot speed bumps here in the city. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the car.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.

So as of right now you are running a mild street set up with the car being lowered with the Koni's & springs.

How much did you end up lowering the car?
I think the Ohlins lower the car by approx 24mm
Do you know what the specs are for the current set up you have.
(If not I wonder if our mutual friends would have it on record)
What made you shy away from the Ohlins besides the price.

Appreciate any further input you can share.

Cheers! Bart
