Default Figs Ohlins RT True Coilover for the RCF with Swift Springs




After being out of stock for a whilte, we are finally geting new parts from production and able to take orders once again.
Based on our 3 yr development on the IS-F application and our 25hr racing experience with the rear suspension geometry of the 3rd gen IS we will be adapting our solutions to meet the needs of the RC-F market.

Features:
- Front and rear single-adjust dampers with both preload adjustment and adjustable collars for ride height. We feel we will be able to address the widest range of ride heights from the existing offerings available.
-Road and Track dampers feature DFV (dual flow valves) for both spirited driving and daily comfort and are completely serviceable-rebuildable.
-Coilover assemblies feature rubber damped upper hat mounts and lower mounts to provide an OE-like experience.
-Swift Springs - Configured to customer end use. Assist and helper configurations as well.
-damping extension adjustment for the rear so that you can reinstall your trunk liner and still make adjustments to the shock damping.
-2yr warranty against defects
-OE upper hats can be reused or we can provide machined aluminum versions with rubber bushings for an additional cost.
-options to use our rear lower control arm replacement which should save weight over the factory arm given the spring perch/pocket no longer be used. It is adjustable as well for suspension geometry change when lowered.

Caveat:
-certain aggressive wheel fitments may not be possible (x12 wheels with positive large offsets and wider tires) due to spring interference. We will be working on an alternate version for these cases.






Please feel free to post any questions or concerns on the product in this thread. We will try to provide answers as quickly as we can.

Supporting technology information




Figure 1: (Compression flow) At low shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the shaft jet bleed (lower dotted arrow). At higher shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the compression ports in the piston (upper dotted arrow). At very high shaft speeds, or during sudden shaft accelerations, oil can also escape through the compression ports in the DFV, increasing comfort. Figure 2: (Rebound flow) At low shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the shaft jet bleed (lower dotted arrow). At higher shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the rebound ports in the piston (upper dotted arrow). At very high shaft speeds, or during sudden shaft accelerations, oil can also escape through the rebound ports in the DFV, maintaining tire contact with the road.



Dampers will get hot. That’s one thing that you can be sure of. As the piston moves within the damper, it generates friction – and therefore, heat. Although we can’t stop heat, we can deal with it, and this is yet another way that Öhlins differs from the competition. As the heat increases, the viscosity of the damper fluid can change, altering the car’s handling characteristics. Our unique needle bleed valve expands with temperature, closing the gap that the fluid travels through, maintaining a consistent damping rate. The best thing of all? You won’t even notice! All you’ll feel is that the car responds consistently, lap after lap, turn after turn. Allowing you to concentrate on braking points and apexes whilst the Öhlins technology takes care of the damping.

I'm assuming that this would essentially eliminate the adaptive variable suspension in the '17+ models?

If you absolutely want to keep it, we can make adapters, however, consider the behavior of a shock. Would you rather have a shock that is constantly adjusting rebound based on what has just happened or would you rather have a shock that is diverse enough to be prepared for anything that might happen. Dynamic tuning based on history means that you are looking backwards at the previous road conditions or in most cases overdamping under certain circumstances. The Ohlins RT valve design is more prepared to take on a wider range of road surfaces up front and varies its damping rate based on load and fluid velocity internally. The factory system is adjusting rebound on an inferior mass produced shock that does not have the diversity or precision of the multi-path RT shock. Again, the factory system ties into a 30-way damper, so it can work with these dampers, I think you will find you do not need it. Determine how many different modes you actually use and we can work with you to integrate it. The factory system uses a simple clip and stepper motor design so it's not too much of a challenge to adapt and calibrate, but it will take a bit of time to machine all the small parts to do it and add cost.

Mike,

I really appreciate the answer.
This is sad to hear as the only reason I bought a '17 model was because of the AVS.
Had I known Fig's coilover would do even a better job, I could have spent $3.5k at your shop instead of $20k at the dealership...
Will definitely bookmark this for an upgrade down the road.

Enjoying my FIGS Ohlins setup so far. Makes a few noises when cold, but otherwise OEM quiet. Mike is always available via phone and text which I appreciate.

Don't forget to add his lowering kit to do it right. I see way too many owners taking shortcuts with their RCFs whether knowingly or naively. Thanks, Mike!

What do you have for a GSF for coilovers?

These will also fit the GS-F.
Thanks, Mike
