Can anybody identify these Ohlins?
 
These came on my FD from Japan. Look to be in good shape but don't look like the Ohlin's I have seen in the past. I'm guessing these are an old setup. Not sure how to adjust height, Looks like the lower perch may rotate around the body?

Yeah, that is an old offering that Ohlins had once upon a time. It's basically a shock replacement. The ride height adjustment is similar to what Koni uses with a snap ring style adjustment under the lower spring pad. You can see the grooves in your pics.
You cannot adjust it while on the car. You have to remove from the car, remove the upper shock mount so the spring is loose and then the lower spring perch slides off to reveal the snap ring that you can remove and move to the next groove.
hope that helps

Thankfully the ride height is good. I had never seen this style before.beim going to have to play with the dampning a bit once i start driving the car more.
