Ohlins Install on M2!

Hey guys wanted to share some pictures and answer questions for you guys in regards to an Ohlins kit for the M2! Thank you James for grabbing this set from us and letting us document the install!

Impressions between stock and the Ohlins: WOW

Car is more firm, Handles beautifully, and has a great look and road feel. While it is more firm then stock it is not uncomfortable, it feels much more planted.

The car drives absolutely amazing I can't believe how smooth it is the Percision is on a whole other level . If you need to hit a specific point it is Dead on but on the street you still have that comfort with the stiff feeling that you're in full control

Best money spent on any mod so far by far in my honest opinion. Well worth every dollar. Car feels amazing at high speeds and low speeds. A little stiffer but still driveable daily with no issues especially with these shitty NJ roads I'm sure anywhere else would have it better.

Long story short. Best money I've spend on a mod. Absolutely unbelievable ride and feel 🙏🙌👊

Is it a M4 Road&Track kit or a specific M2 Road&Track kit?

Based on the pictures I would say that you have more height adjustability on the KW V3. Especially on the front axel.
However just my spontaneous feedback.

M2 specific kit is far down the horizon at this point according to Ohlins USA.

CORRECT, what we would do is package an M3/4 kit with softer rear spring. Needless to say, the customer who has them with just the m3/4 kit loves it and it didn't seem too firm to me when i drove it

We have customer who absolutely loves the kit out of the box and some who wanted lower rates. Everyone is different.
