Description
We sell a lot of Ohlins DFV and although we hear almost nothing but great things about them the single recurring comment is that the rear damper doesn't allow the car to be lowered to the ideal height. Regardless of if you are running high spring rates for the track, enough preload to achieve ultimate performance on the standard springs or even trying to live life hellaflush, the standard lower mount design leaves a lot to be desired. We recommend a high amount of rear pre-load with near standard spring rates (8-10KG) when setting up the conventional DFV suspension due to the limited available stroke. 10-30mm of spring pre-load is needed to obtain an optimal balance of compression and rebound and stay off the bump stops for best ride quality. This does come at a cost however, as it will limit the amount of ride height adjustment that can be achieved. As pre-load increases, the damper length must decrease to keep the car at the same ride height. Unfortunately the standard lower mount does not allow the car to be lowered as much as many people would like, especially with the correct amount of preload. This is where Sakebomb low profile mounting forks come in!These mounts have been designed to allow the shock body to thread deeper into the lower mount than is available with the standard lower mount. The mounts can provide an *additional* 50mm of drop at the wheel for the following scenarios:
- Optimal pre-load setups with standard springs
- High rate race-springs
- Ultra-low rear ride height
Highlights:
- FPSpec Aerospace Aluminum Lower Rear Mounts
- Up to 50mm lower ride height as compared to standard DFV mount
- Adjusts to 40mm higher ride height than standard DFV mount at shortest height
- Allows for proper height adjustment for standard spring rates with correct pre-load, race spring rates, and ultra-low setups
- Stronger and stiffer than standard DFV mounts
- 40% weight reduction as compared to the standard DFV mounts
- Only required for the rear, if you want your front lower you can move your standard rear mount to the front
