Ohlins suspension: precision-engineered for road, track, and motorsport
Ohlins has been building high-performance suspension for nearly five decades. The brand's reputation comes from results - on MotoGP circuits, rally stages, and in the hands of manufacturers who specify Ohlins as factory equipment on their fastest production cars. That engineering carries through to every product we stock at Springrates, from road-going Ohlins coilovers to full motorsport-spec setups.
We are an authorised Ohlins retailer. Every product we sell is genuine, backed by manufacturer support, and shipped with the reliability you'd expect from a dedicated suspension specialist. No grey-market stock, no counterfeits. If it's in our catalogue, it's the real thing.
Road and Track Ohlins coilovers
The Road and Track range is where most drivers start with Ohlins, and it's easy to see why. These Ohlins coils are engineered to sharpen cornering response and improve traction without making the car punishing on public roads. The damping range is broad enough that you can run a comfortable street setting during the week and firm it up for a weekend track session - same kit, no parts to swap.
What separates Road and Track from the mid-range coilover market isn't just the Ohlins name. It's the consistency. These coilovers maintain their damping characteristics over thousands of kilometres of mixed use, whereas cheaper alternatives tend to soften or develop inconsistencies after a season of hard driving. If you want one Ohlins coil setup that handles everything from the morning commute to a spirited track afternoon, this is the range to look at.
Advanced Track Day and Motorsport Ohlins products
For drivers whose cars spend more time on the circuit than on the street, the Advanced Track Day range brings in Ohlins' TTX damper technology. TTX uses a twin-tube design that provides more consistent damping force across a wider range of shaft speeds than conventional dampers. Where a standard mono-tube damper can fade under sustained high-speed compression - repeated kerb strikes, hard braking zones, fast directional changes - TTX holds its response. The two designs aren't competing for the same title. Mono-tube dampers work well in most performance applications. TTX is built for edge cases where consistency under extreme, repeated loading is what matters.
The Motorsport range goes further. Ohlins struts, Ohlins air shocks, and race-specification coilovers developed alongside professional teams. These products are built for competition, not road comfort, and they carry the same specifications used by works racing programmes. For club racers and dedicated track cars, the performance ceiling here is essentially the limit of what the chassis can use.
For off-road and rally-raid applications, the Adventure range offers Ohlins suspension engineered for varied terrain, with adjustable damping that lets you dial the system in for the conditions ahead.

What you're paying for with Ohlins
Ohlins products cost more than most aftermarket coilovers. The reason is in the engineering, not the branding.
Every component in the Ohlins range uses motorsport-grade materials - alloy bodies, precision-machined internals, high-spec seals. These aren't marketing terms. The tolerances of Ohlins machines are tighter than what you'll find in the mid-range coilover market, and the result is a damper that performs the same way at kilometre 40,000 as it did out of the box. Drivers who track their cars regularly notice this. Budget coilovers that felt sharp when new start to lose definition after a season of hard use. Ohlins coilovers don't.
The OEM partnerships back this up. When vehicle manufacturers need suspension that meets their performance targets without compromise, Ohlins is one of the names they go to. That's a level of validation that aftermarket reputation alone can't replicate.
How Ohlins coilovers work across different use cases
The Road and Track range sits at the centre of the lineup. It's designed for the driver who uses the same car on the street and at the circuit, and doesn't want to choose between a comfortable commuter and a sharp track tool. The damping adjustment covers enough range to do both credibly.
The TTX-based Advanced Track Day Ohlins coils push the envelope further. The twin-tube design responds accurately, whether you're hitting a kerb at speed or managing long corners where suspension loads build gradually. Compression and rebound damping can be tuned independently, giving you precise control over how the car behaves under different inputs. For drivers attending track days regularly or competing at club level, the additional adjustability and consistency over a race weekend make the step up from Road and Track worthwhile.
The Motorsport range, including Ohlins struts and air shocks, is purpose-built for competition. No concessions to road comfort. These products are developed with work teams and carry the same specifications used in professional racing. Club racers running dedicated track cars will find that the performance ceiling here is as high as the chassis allows.
Ohlins air shocks use compressed air as the spring medium rather than a mechanical coil spring. This allows ride height and spring rate to be adjusted simultaneously by changing air pressure, without physically swapping springs. They're primarily used in rally, off-road, and certain circuit applications where rapid setup changes between stages or sessions are required.
