Just finalising an order to send a set to a customer abroad. What swayed him was a review thats just been posted on a forum he visits:

"Having now done nearly 3K kms on the Öhlins (incl. a fast blast up to Kuantan this morning), I’m in a position to give an initial review (beyond "I'm loving 'em" - though that is pretty apt).

Basically, these Öhlins are the suspension I have been seeking for 3+ years. They are fantastic - supple yet controlled, with wonderfully composed handling (yet without over-harsh ride). In fact, I find the ride positively plush.

I married them with Driver Gear (rebadged Eibach) linear springs. At first the drop was a little more than I like, but they settled OK after a week or so. It’s still higher than I'm accustomed to (about 2 fingers) but I'm OK with that - having whacked my subframe a few times I appreciate the extra height. Heights are consistent left & right, with slight front rake.

Driving, the impression is of greater spring travel (than the Sachs & Bilsteins I was on before) but beautifully damped. Around town & on the default "10/10" setting, handling is nicely neutral with crisp turn-in & minimal roll. In particular there's much more granularity through the wheel – I can really feel the surface of the road way more. I'm still continually struck by how clean & sharp the turn-in feels – way better than previous set-ups. I don’t notice any undue discomfort from the linear springs.

So far I've mostly left them in the default setting, to form a benchmark. On the highway “10/10” feels good up to about 160kms/hr though the front starts to bob a bit. Faster is still OK (and very comfortable). Ditto B-roads – “10” feels a bit soft for the front, though clicking it up makes a marked difference (i.e. the distinction between gradations is very notable – e.g. going from “10” to “9” feels very different). With the front on “9” damping is more tight-fisted, though still comfortable. Dive under brakes is noticeably less.

Earlier, I'd tried them around town a bit on softer settings – and (unlike Sachs, which went all squishy; or Bilsteins, which basically stayed rock-hard & uncomfortable) the Öhlins delivered super-plush ride without excessive roll. They really are impressively capable under wide range of scenarios.

Tomorrow I head for the hills, and 300-odd kms of sinuous B-roads & cool dense mountain air. I plan to click ‘em up a bit more (“8/8”) and see how they go… "

So how much do they start at for adjustables for a classic?

At the moment the kits are only available for the 07- cars but the earlier models are in the pipeline
