Is there a standard 'racing Tuscan' Ohlins setup (size, spring rate, etc)? There's a set in the classifieds and was wondering whether they would be suitable for use on a road (and track) going Cerbie.

Hi Darren,

The best person to contact is Dave Philips at Arouk Racing. They run Clio Cup cars; however Dave developed Ohlins for Tuscans with Ian Flux. I bought one of the first customer sets.

regards

Spoken to Joolz and it would seem that they'd need rebuilding to cater for the different characteristics of the Cerb (and for road use). So, I'd probably be better buying new shocks, whether they be Ohlins/Nitrons/whatever.

I had mine rebuilt for a griff, cost was a bit cheaper than a new set of nitrons.
