Ohlins shocks for FC3S

I was wondering if any of you are running Ohlins dampers on your FCs? I bought a pair of front ohlins coilovers, and I'm trying to get rears to match them, but I've been unable to find anything for the fc. Obviously, if they made fronts for the fc, then they should have made rears too. However, I called Ohlins USA many times and apparently, they don't have them. Does anyone have them, and if so, how did you get them?

I was told that they did not make anything for the FCs. This is coming from a reliable source... the shop that installed the first RX-8 Ohilins in the US for a Friend of mine (can be verified by Ohlin US) and also installed the ones on my FD.

Welp, turns out they do make em. They're in japan though, and will need to be shipped to the US. I think i'll just match up a pair of bilsteins.

They do exist. I remember seeing a front pair of Ohlins on a junkyard FC.

I have Ohlins on my T2, They're not "coilovers" though, but 32 way adjustable monotube dampeners with RS*R race springs rear and eibach in the front.

A good friend of mine has the full coilovers, with swift springs on his FC. I love it when people are like "What? Ohlins???" when I tell them what I have.
