This means that the wheel and tyre can quickly and effectively resume their important position back on the ground, providing grip and traction. The new Ohlins R\u0026amp;T range uses DFV technology on every single fitment, making it the perfect upgrade for the enthusiast that needs comfort and agility in the one unit.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of DFV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBecause DFV opens more quickly and easily on minor road imperfections, ride comfort is surprisingly supple and more akin to an OEM strut than a coilover set-up. Over undulating surfaces, the compliancy of the R\u0026amp;T units allows the car to crest bumps and pot-holes, whilst still keep stable and in control. Traction is always maintained at its optimum level.

On many inferior designs, height is adjusted by raising or lowering the lower spring platform. This has the effect of compressing or extending the spring, which can limit the suspension travel that may cause topping out. The Ohlins method is to leave the spring seat in its perfect position, whilst the lower flange spins easily on the threaded body, to allow you to adjust with absolute precision whilst maintaining the perfect characteristics that we took so long to design in! Once you've set it all up, the adjuster simply locks off to maintain your exact settings.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThese kits all work well 'out of the box', but there's still plenty of adjustment for you to set things your way. You like stiff and reactive? Or soft and forgiving? It's all there. Too much low speed rebound damping can have an adverse effect on grip, so the easily accessible adjuster at the base of the Ohlins units allows small, but positive increments of fine tuning, so you can take into account every single parameter. Sounds complicated? Nothing could be further for the truth. Just a few clicks either way from our factory settings will soon have your car responding precisely to your inputs and driving style.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThermal Expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prospeedracing.com.au\/assets\/images\/dfv-04.jpg\" style=\"width: 590px; height: 420px;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDampers will get hot. That's one thing that you can be sure of. As the piston moves within the damper, it generates friction - and therefore, heat. Although we can't stop heat, we can deal with it, and this is yet another way that Ohlins differs from the ­competition. As the heat increases, the viscosity of the damper fluid can change, altering the car's handling characteristics. Our unique needle bleed valve expands with temperature, closing the gap that the fluid travels through, maintaining a ­consistent damping rate. The best thing of all? You won't even notice! All you'll feel is that the car responds consistently, lap after lap, turn after turn. Allowing you to concentrate on braking points and apexes whilst the Ohlins technology takes care of the damping.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.prospeedracing.com.au\/Ohlins-Road-Track-Coilovers-Subaru-WRX-VA-15-21\/STI-GR-GV-VA-08-21-SUS-MI10\" style=\"text-decoration:none\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49433203867951,"sku":"SUS-MI94","price":4799.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3903\/9279\/files\/SUS-MI94.jpg?v=1714111177","url":"https:\/\/www.prospeedracing.com.au\/products\/ohlins-road-track-coilovers-subaru-wrx-sti-gc8-94-00-sus-mi94","provider":"Pro Speed Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
