Got the Stasis Ohlins Motorsport suspension installed today.
Got the Stasis Ohlins installed today with spring rates of 800/1000. Ran out of time for an alignment, but Stasis recommends driving 100 miles or so to let things settle before an alignment anyways...
Ride height is a little high, around 26" ground to fender, I'd like to drop it about 1/2 inch more.
Huge difference in ride quality even with the vast increase in spring rates. You feel the sharp reports, but the Ohlins do a superior job of soaking up irregularities etc. I was pleasantly surprised and quite happy about it. I initially wondered if the spring rates were going to be too high to deal with as this is my daily driver, but the ride is very supple.
I haven't had much chance to really lean on the car, but initial handling thoughts are as follows. The car has no dive or squat and basically doesn't roll at all. Turn in is *Much* more immediate, to the point that it caught me off guard. Grip feels to be much more, roll non existent.
I'll have to see what it does on track, but so far I'm very happy with it.

Yep, H-Sport sways. I have the rear sway set on the middle setting.
I'll have to wait till the next track day to see if I need to back it off or not. The rear springs are significantly stiffer now than what I was running before...

Speak for yourself, mine does. Stasis 4:1 center diff and the proper tire pressures.
I have no doubt it'll lift throttle oversteer at will with the current setup and it does power oversteer.
Even on the street I can get the ESP to freak out with the throttle.
