I have maybe the first BTO set from Ohlins Japan. Not sure if anyone else ordered from my contact there. I have nothing negative to say about these coilovers. How about a vendor just maybe setting up a group buy from my guy there? But considering Mike has been doing all the hard work with research and testing, it's probably worth waiting a bit more, I was a bit impatient :/ My set only took three weeks to get but I might have paid quite a bit more too

Do you have any pics of your F sitting on the Ohlin coil?

A friend of mine works in a tuning shop. He installed ohlins coilovers for a customer's ISF last month. Hope it helps someone who's interested in getting a set of ohlins.

Some testing last week. Again, the setup that they offer for the 2IS will not be adequate for the IS-F

We are still working on final pricing and rear hat configuration.

The Penske's have much wider range and flexibility with the divorced damping adjustment. The Penske's will always rule the roost in both areas, but these are going to be a great compromise for people that want to get close.

I should have a final price at the end of the week. Long story short is that until we see more demand we cannot get a specific run of parts from Sweden, so we will just need to modify existing assemblies, revalve and then deliver to you guys. I will post an update. Still have the first production set available from our car.

We are ready to go on this and I will be posting a group buy today or tomorrow. I need 10- kits to get a good intro discount. Or we will just build them one at a time.

Might also have to keep an eye on this. Might be worth my time to upgrade.
