Yes really, every Aventador has Ohlins, they are hands down one of the best suspension companies in the world.

Not really applicable when Ohlins are releasing a single adjustable coilover in a performance market. They are a great company like Penske and Moton but if you're justifying the fact that its a great coilover just because it came on an Aventador (when it hasn't posted official laptimes on the Nurburgring yet and Lamborghini's are not known as handling machines like a GTR/Ferrari/Porsche) then it doesn't mean much.

The only laptimes I see that are available for comparison is on a Top Gear race track, which doesn't mean much.

I thought you were saying lambs don't use ohlins period. Which is just not true, I'm not saying it means anything about the coils for the is models.

Just as a follow up, I got with Ohlins and they said they are happy with their Is-F offering on the Road and Track coilover kit. So they have no plans to change it.

Does this mean that their IS application is approved for the F? Didn't FIGS say otherwise?

All I am saying is that if you think a 12k/10k spring setup will work on the F then you are kidding yourself. I am working with Ohlins USA to make a deviation kit (will not technically be their standard RT offering because we are doing the R and D) to make a kit that will hold up.
Even with the correct spring currently the valving needs to be adjusted to prevent bottoming out. We are also still working on the rear perch adapter to use standard springs vs the custom wound Eibach that uses the stock upper hat. This will be a nice setup but it needs adjustement over the 250/350 application. These applications come out of Ohlins Japan and largely the USA crew has little ability to make spec changes to their kits. That is where our value-add comes in because we can take what they have and make it functional for the platform.
