Vishnu Ohlins are here!

The long awaited Vishnu Spec Ohlins are here! After over 2 years of development, the final product is ready for the public. The development on this project has been quite staggering, and the results are no different. Finally, a suspension upgrade, that can honestly be called an upgrade.

The development on this suspension, was done with precision driver Paul Gerrard, and vehicle dynamics engineer Joe Henry. The development went further than any of us expected, and the results speak for themselves. With Joe and Paul on the team, we were able to do a level of analysis that is unheard of thus far in the EVO world. This type of analysis is the same type of work that is done with IRL teams. This is the same suspension that we had at American Touge. It was claimed to be one of the easiest cars to drive at the event, yet still managed to have the 2nd fastest lap time of the day. But, don't be fooled. Unlike other suspension set ups we have tested, this set up rides better than a factory set up, on the street.


The Suspension set up will include the following:
-Ohlins Road and Track Shocks.
-Vishnu Custom Valving.
-Front sway Bar Bushings
-Rear Sway Bar Bushings.
-Rear Lower Shock Mount Bushings.
-Front Camber Plates.
-Rear Top hats.
-Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Endlinks.
-Custom 8" Springs.
-Helper Springs Front and Rear.
-All of the setup instructions including ride height, alignment, and click settings.

Pricing: 3249 for the first five sets. (Preorder. We have 2 sets on the shelf, and 3 more sets coming our way.
3349 for every set after.


Dyno, Street, Track...Rinse and Repeat.
Here are some pictures of the development path:

It is about freakin' time. I absolutely love mine and I can't wait to have more company to share the good times with.

That price is way below what I had to pay for mine. This is a great deal and I say this without the slightest hesitation.

Yeah, I'm at a conference and am not paying proper attention to your original post. I'm so glad that there is finally a QUALITY, affordable option for the crowd that demands a comfortable ride and great track potential.

Is that the same dyno used in the testing of the "Johnny Holmes Hand Pump"?

Kidding aside; Congrats -
