I bought this Ohlins double adjustable suspension from another forum member this spring for my Elise, which I auto-x. When I finally got around to installing it last weekend, unfortunately, the ride height in the rear was too low to support by wide Hoosiers and there was a touch of rub on the test drive. Needless to say, they won't work for auto-x with my wide tires. They should not be a problem with stock tires.
The Ohlins part number is LOV1D510. It is my understanding that these shocks were designed for the federal (British) Elise. These offer a lower ride height than the Ohlins for the US Elises. Sorry, I don't know what the spring rates are.
Asking $1,400 shipped OBO. These shocks sell for $2,600 new.
