Yes, They are firmer than stock but you can adjust the damper stiffness. I daily drove them and found them to be quite nice on the street. The Dual Flow Valving Ohlins uses does a great job. I swapped back to stock when I traded in my car and was just sad felt like a boat😞.
These do not turn your car into some crazy stiff Honda were you get bounced around at every bump feeling like the car will explode. |

From what I've read Ohlins refurb is every 50k miles and I've seen guys on the forums use them 5+ years before a refresh. Rebuild prices are pretty reasonable. These have 3.7k miles on them plenty of life left |

Does the one pair have corrosion on the housings or just dirty?
How did the Ohlins Spring rates compare vs Swift springs? What made you use the Swift springs? Thanks |

I ran the Swift springs for two reasons: 1. A higher spring rate many complained the stock Ohlins Springs were too soft, I never installed them so I cant provide much guidance there. The rates I selected are commonly run, recommended to me when I bought these new and you can go a little stiffer if you need to especially running a R-Compound tire. I believe the Ohlins rates are as follows: Front: 400 lb/in (70N/mm) - Swift is 336 so a little less in front, but a shorter spring Rear: 343 lb/in (60N/mm) -Swift is 672 2. The Swift Springs are shorter which allowed the spring perch to sit above the tire allowing a wider tire up front. Hope that helps. |

Helps alot, thank you, I am still learning alot about my e90 but it sure is a joy to drive.
I will keep an eye out for the updated pictures and continue researching, it seems a decent amount of setups use a bit stiffer in rear and 3xx in front... wonder why Ohlins chose the opposite. |
