Yeah, not an apples to apples comparison when the costs are vastly different.

I drive with the shocks at 9 clicks on the street. It’s pretty firm. The Ohlins do a nice job over small bumps not being to firm. But I’d say much stiffer under harsh bumps. When I had the HAS though it felt similar but would unload the back end over big bumps. I also had the car lowered about 1.5”/1.25”, so that really impacted the effectiveness of the stock shocks and the overall suspension travel. I’m not sure how much the Eibach lowers and how much more spring rate it adds. I think anything over an inch lowered with a HAS kit hurts the performance.

For me, I’m weighing track use heavier than street comfort so it works well. For street use with none or maybe a track day here or there, Ohlins probably isn’t the best option unless you are really going for that minimal fender gap look and want to keep good suspension travel.

They are just shaped for the OE top mounts. The rate is 100 N/mm, not progressive.

PM if you have more specific questions regarding the Ohlins R&T or want a quote.
