700/900 is the highest they offer right now, I think. The normal street/track setup is 450/550, and there's one other combo in between. I got the chance to feel the 700/900 combo the day that I spent at the track with Paul. I rode down from the Springs in the back seat with those springs, then rode on track, and that's what convinced me I could go with the stiffest available. I do daily drive on crappy roads, but any stiffness is welcome in exchange for top performance on track.
Thanks

285 V710s, and the combo works great, but I have also used my 255/40 RT-615s for two sessions, and both times, my rears got overpowered by the spring rates I think, because my rear end just slid all the way around uncontrollably on two separate occasions. That could have been just me, but it had never happened before on those tires. Even so, when trying to be more careful, I put down some great lap times on my street tires, which aren't even as grippy as your RA-1s.
Paul also was testing that day on very old, crappy-looking RA-1s, so I think you may be able to do it.

While I'm thinking about it, you may recall that they broke the transfercase in their RS last fall at the last SCCA event. Apparently this is common is BSP cars. I thought LSD ones were rather strong. :shrug:

Updates? ... still waiting for updates. I've heard a few members have decided to opt for a refund and are going a different route, a real shame. Even Warrtalon is recommending people looking for suspension upgrades go the Robispec route.

Is there something I am missing?!? ... If I didn't whole heartedly believe in Chronohunter's suspension theory I probably wouldn't be so patient.
I really hope my patience is rewarded ....

Unfortunately, we were forced to stop selling the systems. We even had two on order that we were forced to send back, because Ohlins could simply not produce the missing parts. It's a damn shame, but we can't let the rest operation suffer due to Ohlins shortcomings.

I think Vishnu & Paul need to come up with an alternative??

You guys know the answer already, as Chronohunter has mentioned multiple times in the past. The alternative for quality shocks are too expensive, though I have to admit I'm curious as with which company's products they would choose to go with. Motons?
I specifically bought Ohlins because Chronohunter has put all the R&D into them and supposedly they provide the best bang per buck. Back when the Vishnu spec Ohlins 1st came out, Ohlins were in short supply worldwide. And I couldnt get my hands on one. 2nd hand ones were selling for the same price as brand new ones in the forums. I finally manage to get mine 2nd hand and then supply started to resume world wide. Supply resumed but now parts are missing ... To top it all off no one is available to revalve them after I finally managed to scrounge all the necessary parts. Ironic don't ya think?
I have faith these guys (Vishnu/Chronohunter) will pull through for me ...

There are other places in the country besides the west coast that are "authorized" to revalve Ohlins . . .
