Custom Ohlins TTX coilovers custom prototype for my FL5

[xalexwillisx]

Hey guys,
This setup is for those seeking the best components for the chassis.
I cannot comment on pricing as I honestly do not know how PSi will price the production kits.
But if you look around, you can see pricing of the comparable bmw ttx-pro kits available now.
I truly believe it is worth it, as it feels as though my car has been transformed into a corner monster! And I haven’t even began to dial in the damping settings yet!!
Because of this experience, I will be also upgrading my s2000 from the r&t to the ttx coilovers soon.
Here is some more eye candy:

soooooooo roughly $9k-$11K

soooooooo roughly $9k-$11K

It's safe to say that it will be around this range. I'm not so sure why the OP doesn't want to say the cost. We already know its gotta be north of $9k, because TTX dampers start around $10k. I'm sure anyone considering these won't bat an eye at the cost.

TTX dampers for G8X chassis BMWs are $10,200 to start for anyone wondering btw

Based on the OP's statements and the reply I got from the shop that curated these for him. I am assuming for exchange for the patients of the OP and using his chassis for any R&D purposes, they provided him with a nice discount regarding the price (perhaps cost). In exchange they request an NDA from him on the socials because they needed to come up with their price for the kit they developed. Even though I cant see them selling alot of these for the chassis. But I have been wrong before...lol.

These will be hard to justify over the R&T for 90% of FL5 owners but those that can afford it will ball out. I agree its kinda surpising how many FL5 owners might spring for this though. I know a couple owners that daily FL5s to keep the miles off their GT3s, so it isn't outside of the realm of possibility.

 

[HondaHoon]

I agree. Ballers be among us!

Just watch what cable Rosenberg does with his fl5 when he gets bored of the vipers lol

Hey guys,
After seeing the only other set here on the forum, I believe from Thailand, and getting no response for more info from the OP, I decided to pursue my own options.
Luckily I live only about 70 miles from Sonoma.
I received no discounts for my patience, use of my oem parts and time driving back and forth in the development of this prototype set.
Honestly anyone could have done this process, I just happened to be the first here stateside.
I agree that most owners will not choose such a pricey option.
But I am glad this option now finally exists for our chassis.
I did not sign an nda, but as a business owner myself, I do not want to step PSi’s toes in how they want to price any further production kits.
Thanks for understanding.

You should go into politics brother.

Don't trip no need to explain however not getting a discount is crazy work. I've got something similar in the works but I'm getting a discount lol

Haha, no thanks to politics.

I see what you did there, it was a shock no one caught it earlier…

Well everyone. I have word! I just got off the phone with Jamie at PSI. Really nice guy. So the price for the two way setup exactly like Jun has above is $12,672.00. The $672.00 is for the custom springs used. There is a 6 week lead time, due to the outsourcing for the critical welding needed for the custom components.

You can also upgrade the setup even further than what Jun has if you wish with the simple changing of a valve to a 3 way or 4 way adjustment. 3 way - additional $1500, and 4 way - additional $3K.

Because these are a product designed for motorsport and not road use, these do not carry any warranty. They are also recommended to have rebuilt every two years with track use. A typical rebuild is approximately $1500.00 if my memory serves me correct from what Jamie advised.

I am passing this information on with the permission of PSI. Hope this helps everyone squash the mystery.

If all this is above the budget, they advised that they can dial in a road and track setup as well.

All this only to be passed on the track by a 16yo in a clapped miata that's been raised on Karting and sim rigs since they could walk lmfao

Well yea there is always someone faster. What was your point? It looks like a sweet setup, one 99% of us would never need but I'm glad someone is helping develop the platform further.

You still want to buy my coilovers. when I switch out to more things that I don't need in the sake of developing the platform lmfao
