Ohlins Rear Suspension
« on: 21 June 2018, 03:47:57 pm »
I am looking for a reliable, trustworthy company to overhaul my Ohlins rear shock. I have tried three times to contact K Tech but no response so they are off my list.

Anybody very impressed with anybody recently?

Firefox Racing seems to have a good reputation.

I’m not sure where you are based Old Son? But I’ve used MH Suspension near Chippenham several times with good results. In fact he serviced the Ohlins on my Gen1 a year or two back.

Bit late to the party as I've been away for a few days, but HM Racing in Edenbridge is the place to go. On the right behind the Vauxhall dealership. They are the dogsxxxx.

It was a toss up between Firefox and Revs. The guy at Revs responded to my email and was knowledgeable on the phone. I've gone with them. Thanks everybody for your advice.
