Ohlins Road & Track Suspension Deep Dive!

Let's take a deeper look at the Ohlins Road & Track coilover kit for the BMW M2/M3/M4. In addition to going over the design, hardware, and spring rates, we have a real treat (courtesy of Fat Cat Motorsports) of being able to look at various damper dynos across the adjustment range. This will let us see just what those "clicks" are doing, and whether they're useful or not.

Very cool - thanks for doing this.

Is FCM using this damper as a basis for their kit?

FCM only builds off of Bilstein based dampers currently. I wish they could work off of this though! Then I wouldn't still be searching for donor parts for my eventual build with them, haha.

Thanks! My goal is to enable others to understand and DIY on their vehicles. I admit, it kind of bugs me the guys who make content under the guise of helping, but are really there just to profit off of you (lots of ads, no indicies to force you to watch longer to find what you actually need, always recommending the products they cover even if they're not that good, ect.). But that's why this isn't my day-job either, haha.
