Ohlins Road & Track on my 2020 RS4

Post by Avantgarde » Sat Apr 17, 2021 6:14 pm

So I bit the bullet and opted for Ohlins Road & Track instead of KW V3 that I usually used on all my previous cars. I ended up using 100N/mm springs in front and 120N/mm springs in the rear, and i must say that the car is just as comfortable as stock but a lot more compliant over rough roads. On the stock suspension the car can be a bit of a handful when driven hard on less than the best roads, but know I laugh at uneven roads.

Some pics for you.

The most accurate figure would be to contact your local Ohlins dealer/retailer.

Is your car a non DRC?

If so, does the stock car tend to be bouncy at times?

So does the Ohlins reduce this bouncy effect? I know that the DFV can be quite comfy than stock.

Bouncy, no, very hard on rough surfaces, yes. When going fast on rough surfaces my body literally hurts from all the banging, I sometimes feel like I am at the verge of losing control of the vehicle or the steering gets out of my hands. The Ohlins is firmer than stock overall, but much more comfortable on rough surfaces, and I’ve gained back control of my vehicle on high speed rough surfaces.

Did you lower the car height with this setup?

Can you post some pictures of your car with Ohlins installed? :)

Thanks~!

Here is how the kit looks like ->

I retained my stock height, and had the car corner weight balance as well.

Did you run their recommended 120N front and 140N rear springs?

Very interested in this kit, any more feedback?

I'd want to retain as much as comfort as possible (even improve it if thats possible).

Are the 100/120 more comfortable than their recommended rates?

Looking at the lic, isn't it lower than stock?

Can you PM me details of dealer and price? I'm in Austraia, and nobody really sells them here.

I've got a modified S5 v8 and a bit sick of the harshness of the KW v3's...
