real Ohlins??
 

JDM Mazda 86 92 RX7 FC3S Ohlins Suspension Kit Shock Absorbers | eBay

Stumbled on this

I kinda doubt it... rs-rsprings, made in Japan stickers, etc.

They look legit, but the adjusters look broken.

i have a set of the real things ( with eibachs ) ,, cant see in the pics but the front should have adjusters on bottom of strut ,, else look the same
those rear shocks pictured look like the remote adjusters have been cut off
( just unscrew the broken section and adjust them manually from under the speaker pods )

Interesting.... Ohlins does not come up often. Any idea when these made? I can find nothing about them on the Ohlins site.

I think if you search the name SOQI you can get an idea on when the shocks were made as this branch of Yamaha licensced to make Japanese Ohlins shocks changed names around 2006 I think.

The coilover kit isn't necessarily an Ohlins' kit as Ohlins shocks are a popular base for tuning shops to use to make coilover kits in Japan. If I open a Hyper Rev from the '90s to the suspension page I see 8 or so shops using Ohlins shocks as a base for their coilover kits.

The springs, perches, rear ajuster extensions and lack of upper mounting hardware make the kit look just like one of the four Panspeed kits offered with Ohlins shocks in a '97 "Hyper Rev Vol. 97 RX-7 No. 2" I have.

But that picture is actually incorrectly being used for an FD kit, so I can't give you the spring rates. The FD kit of that grade coilover uses VERY mild 4.8Kg/mm F and 4.0Kg/mm rear so it would be a very streetable set up.

The looks of the springs, stock top mounts and lack of camber ajustment on the FC kit you linked point to this being a very street oriented kit as well.

Those RSR FC springs are listed as 30-50% increase over stock.

The Ohlins' shocks pictured were available from Ohlins bare without kit as well.

This was probably put together this way. Springs pictured pg. 124, shocks pg 126 in aforementioned Hyper Rev.

I may be wrong, but those look like the RS*R down springs I used to have on my old FC. I'm pretty sure RS*R race springs aren't progressive.

If I'm correct, those aren't as firm as race springs..30% more stiff sounds about right. I LOVED my RS*R / koni yellow set up and would have run it forever if I hadn't stumbled upon a great deal on something else.

Those look like Sokies to me. They were licensed by Ohlins to a firm in the Pacific Rim, Malaysia IIRC to manufacture under the Ohlins name. I have some of these, which now have proper Ohlins springs on them because mine came from Japan with Swift springs on that were slightly too hard to suspend your average bus.

I had mine rebuilt by a firm here in England who make their living making up "proper" Ohlins for motorsport. Their portfolio includes works cars in competitions as diverse as single-seater racing, touring cars (they built the suspension on Andy Priaulx's WTCC-winning BMWs) and Paris-Dakar vehicles. Their professional opinion is that the Sokie-made Ohlins are not quite up to the quality of genuine Japanese or Swedish-made ones, but are still very good suspension up there with such brands as Nitron, Penske and AST, etc. The main difference is that the Sokies are harder to refurbish and can sometimes prove impossible if they've worn too far internally.

They still make all kinds of struts, but no longer full coilover sets since Ohlins took their manufacture back in-house with the launch of the R&T range. They make the struts in bonnet (hood) lifter kits like this, for example; MAZDA RX7 GAS BONNET HOOD DAMPER LIFT KIT | eBay

I've had these Ohlins shocks before on an old FC. Difference was mine still had the adjusters in the rear. The ones posted here are broken off, but you can still adjust them.

The RS*R springs are nice, I was looking for a set of those furiously years ago.

Getting them rebuilt may be an issue if these are blown, but Ohlins USA may be able to find someone that can service them.

Even rarer are the full coilover version of these shocks, with adjustable perches and Swift Springs.

or Aragosta's or Suspension Dynamics which started at $8000
