Ohlins Road and Track or DFV

[Hagasan41]

Can’t seem to find a clear answer on this. Does Ohlins make a R/T kit for the E36? I know for the U.S market they do not. But, It seems in Europe they offer a DFV kit but don’t import the kit to the U.S.

I know 3DM sells a TTX kit but that may be a bit overboard for my intended use.

no they don't - never have, probably never will.

That guy rubs me the wrong way. I watched the first E36 video and i was done. I'm not surprised to learn he's spouting BS...

Hard to put trust in anyone who just buys the most expensive just for youtube hits and doesn't drive the cars much... they put special foam underneath the tires so they don't flat-spot

How do people even make it through his videos? Not that I like clickbait/loud/cringey youtube algorithm videos, but he puts out the driest content. His car collection doesn't even match his personality, or lack of.

Got it. I think I’ll go with your recommendation of swapping the camber/caster plates for OE strut mounts as well and change all the mounts, bushings, etc and completely refresh the whole thing. I appreciate your willingness to share your first hand experience and knowledge. Sure helps someone like me from making costly mistakes.

DFV(Dual Flow Valve) is just a feature. There is no R&T E36 application and even if there was, i'd recommend other kits anyways. PSS9/10's are fundamentally the same type of kit as R&T for a grand less and have a lifetime warranty. Plus they ride nicer.

TCK are another step above that.

Great to watch if you just want to hear 45 min of inner monologue His "OCD" is just Overpriced Checkout Disorder.

Didn't he call TC Klines cheap for the M3? What did he even sell that M3 for?

Jvit27 is my go to for this information over the years. We've both been through a lot of the same suspension setups but he has done more and I have made several decisions based on his experiences.
