The Road & Track suspension for Tesla models is specially tuned for battery electric vehicle (BEV) applications and underpinned by cutting-edge Öhlins suspension technology. Öhlins’ patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology transforms chassis control while sustaining a refined ride quality unsurpassed in the OE or aftermarket. Experience racecar-like handling without sacrificing comfort and safety, whether you’re driving to the office or crushing lap times on the track.

Ride height and damping control are adjustable to help you achieve the exact look and feedback you desire. Dampers can be individually adjusted through a wide range of adjustment options, with more than 20 defined clicks. Systems feature a monotube damper structure designed for heightened response, with strengthened inverted struts and aluminum body shocks that are lightweight and aid in cooling.

With the Öhlins Road & Track suspension for Tesla, you can expect a superior ride quality and elevated comfort over a variety of conditions and uses. The combination of premium features and options to fine-tune your performance result in the ultimate suspension package for daily drivers and weekend warriors alike.

The Features of DFV Technology
So what is DFV? It is Dual Flow Valve technology – and it sets us apart from our competitors. Only Ohlins has DFV technology on its road and track products.

With DFV, the dual flow valve gives the same characteristics on rebound as it does on compression, thanks to the damper fluid having a consistent path of flow in both directions. This means that the wheel and tyre can quickly and effectively resume their important position back on the ground, providing grip and traction. The new Öhlins R&T range uses DFV technology on every single fitment, making it the perfect upgrade for the enthusiast that needs comfort and agility in the one unit.

Looks good. How does the price compare to the MPP offerings?

Ohlins are slightly higher, but still priced within the ballpark.

Ohlins arrived today, they look awesome! Next shipment won't be arriving until October, but we have them in stock now - don't miss out!

Now taking orders and appointments for installation.

I was there on Thursday when the shipments were delivered and saw the open box in person, they look gorgeous.

Looking forward to a review of these units! I’m especially interested in how harsh they are for daily driving and whether they make any noise. The rear not using either the top or bottom rubber spring isolators concerns me slightly, but hopefully they don’t make a bunch of noise.

 

[tom @ eas]

Down to the final 10 sets. Once sold, next shipment from Ohlins will not arrive until early October.

First Ohlins R&T set installed today, along with a set of Redwood rear camber arms on this MYP.

Overall lowering is about 20mm here (19" wheels installed), went for a quick test drive and the ride is absolutely fantastic, as expected from Ohlins. Car feels tight, nimble and really soaks up the bumps in the pavement while giving a smooth & comfortable ride.

Enjoy the pics.

Ordered the Ohlins kit from EAS on Tuesday the 23rd for my M3P, and it was delivered this morning, Saturday the 27th. Took me about 3 hours in total to get everything installed, and another hour or so tinkering with ride height and dampening adjustments. All four corners were lowered 25mm, which equates to almost an inch drop. There's definitely room to go lower, but I wanted to keep the ride height "manageable" since the roads in around the NYC tri-state area aren't too friendly to cars with modified suspensions. In conjunction with a set of front and rear Eibach adjustable sway bars and staggered 20" wheels, the cars driving dynamics have significantly improved! Stability overall has increased tenfold and it's not only in the corners and bends, but also in straight line acceleration. The firm end of the dampening is quite harsh on the streets. It does give you near go-kart like handling, but you will feel everything, and I mean everything! The softer end of the dampening is definitely smoother and more plush than the OEM suspension. Ride comfort is enhanced, while still keeping an adequate level of stability, which mind you is still better than the OEM setup. This is where you'll have to spend some time to find that perfect balance of front and rear dampening for your specific needs and driving style. I am going to have the car aligned later this week and will continue to tinker with the settings to see what works best for me. Will report back with how everything goes.

Thank you to the guys at EAS for their prompt and courteous service!

Staying within the softer end of the dampening, the ride is not harsh at all. In fact, it's an improvement over the OEM setup while still offering you better than OEM stability. The firm end of the dampening is harsh on the street. Definitely not recommend for a daily driver or if you live in an area with bad roads. Last but not least, absolutely no noise whatsoever from either the frontend or rearend!

Thanks for the review! Looking forward to my M3P getting Ohlins put on.

Appreciate the review, congrats on your new Ohlins setup!

Appreciate the review, congrats on your new Ohlins setup!

Thank you! Still dialing it in, but so far so good. I do however have a quick question...

On the front shocks, the dampener adjustment knobs up in the frunk have around 21-22 clicks from firm to soft. The knob literally stops spinning from one setting to the other. That essentially goes hand in hand with what Ohlins advertises (20 clicks), give or take a click or two which is normal. On the rears however, there's something like 35-40 clicks on the lower adjustment knobs from one end to the other. Is that normal?

With the fronts at let's say full soft, 20 clicks, the front suspension is just that - soft and plush. The rears however at 20 clicks are not nearly as soft. When I crank them down to like 30 clicks, they become just about equal in softness. Is there a chance the front and rear shocks have different dampening capabilities?

I've never had a coilover shock that was advertised for a certain range, click for twice as long. An additional click or two, or even three, once again is normal before the knob either stopped or became free, but for something to be advertised as having 20 clicks but in actuality delivering nearly double that, just doesn't feel right.

If you could shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like someone had the same findings: Ohlins R&T landing in the USA as soon as May

Checked on a set here and found 27 clicks on the front, this is normal as the 0-20 range is considered "usable". However, I counted 68 clicks on the rear.

I'll ping Ohlins and see if I can get some additional info on their end.

 

[tom @ eas]

And already got a reply from Ohlins:

There are only 20 usable clicks both front and rear on the struts and dampers. When turning counterclockwise once to get past 20 clicks from closed it is no longer making a difference in damping. The oil port has reach it maximum flow rate once it reaches 20 clicks and is no longer restricting the fluid flow.

Kind of what we figured, but good to get confirmation nonetheless.

Just to clarify I only found the rears to be firmer than front at the same settings, but the springs on my car are different to standard R&T (8/11 vs 11/12) I kind of expect the rears to be firmer, I will change the settings in the front to compensate for that.

Congrats! I’ve also got a set of these in hand and just awaiting delivery of my Model Y; I’m also in NYC (LIC), where about are you located?
