Ohlins R&T adjustment

[alexevo]

Does anyone know how to correctly adjust Ohlins?

Fronts have has a total of 30 clicks which is strange as the manual says 20 clicks. I want to set it to 4 clicks (track), and following the manual, I adjusted it fully clockwise and then 4 clicks back. The thing is that a click adjuster is at the bottom of the shock. Should I consider it clockwise when looking at it from the bottom or from the top?

The rear is really strange, it looks like it has unlimited clicks or mine is broken. I tried to do maximum in a clockwise direction and after about 40 clicks it just stopped to "click" but still continued to turn. So I got it back to the last sound of "click" and then returned back counterclockwise for 8 clicks. Is this correct? I want to have a softer rear as I have two much oversteer.

I actually tested this recently because it wasn't clear to me which way was soft and from what perspective the manual is talking about. I went out and tested twenty clicks each way on the front and rear just to figure out what was happening.

What I found out was that clockwise = stiff from the perspective of looking at the bottom of the car for both front and rear. There is definitely a final click where the adjusters in the rear hit significant resistance at full stiff, I never spun the knobs far enough in front or rear to ever loosen them fully.

I'm guessing you're spinning the adjusters in the opposite direction. There's a pretty big difference from full stiff and 20 clicks down, so if in doubt you can always test.

Hope that helps.

How many clicks from the bottom are y’all running? Full stiff is insane. I’m at 5 from the bottom and… wow she’s tight!

I also have sway bars and SPL parts. It’s not the best for long drives. But on track McLovin it!!!

i wish ohlins would release the dynos for these shocks. on the bmw m2 ohlins sets, full stiff is essentially hydro locked.
