I would like to hear from GP2 owners if you have any experience with Ohlins and Vorshlag Camber plates on your GP2. I will use this setup only for street driving.

 

I have ohlins on my R58 JCW and love them. Vorshlag camber plates are my next step. I dont think you can go wrong with that combo. You can dial in the ohlins for street and track pretty easy, i had them set tight then dialed them out.

Thanks ECS Tuning - i have bought a number of things from you in the past and have always been satisfied with ECS and your sales peoples product knowledge - (this is an unsolicited compliment). Appreciate your quick response!

 

Thanks! I will let them know, love to hear this. Let me know if you need anything else and like to hear what mods you have planned next.

 

I have had Ohlins + Vorshlag on my R56S for a few years now, and several track days, love the setup. Get to the track and crank it up stiff, then turn them back down at the end of the day.

 

Thank you!

 

I own a GP2 and think that is way overkill for a street car and expensive. I've considered respringing my GP as the shocks are pretty good, but do need to warm up on cold days.

I have also had a guy recently get the Ohlins and he took them off a month later as the ride was too harsh. Which the stiff valving and higher springs rates contribute to.

I would actually go with our tried and true KW V2 TSW setup as it rides great, but still handles awesome. I'm running this on my daily driver JCW Clubman.

The Vorshlag camber plates can't be beat as they are the best no matter what setup you go with. I use these on the race car, and my clubman

Running Vorshlag and Ohlins on my daily along with 25mm RSB and adjustable lower trailing arms in the rear. Running -2 camber all around and it handles like a dream. Absolutely in love with how it handles now. Currently running 5 clicks from full stiff on the front and 6 clicks from full on the rear. Tried as far down as 7 clicks front and 8 rear for a nice soft ride that made the wife happy on a road trip. The springs on new Ohlins are now 7kg front and 6kg on the rear.

 

Thanks WayMotorWorks (Very important info on the rough ride of the Ohlins and a the KW2 V2 as good substitute).

 

So with the mentioned setting above you consider the ride on the street acceptable?

 

Dialed my out to soft side and that improved the ride quality drastically on the stock springs, I daily the car and its fine and smooth. Up to almost 100K miles on the R58JCW now. When at very full stiff its full on connected to the road and feels like its ready for a track day and kill the corners (and your tires).

 

Absolutely. With the dampener settings you can go from cream puff to race ready lickety split. No adjustment ***** to lose like some others require. Another thing I really like about the Ohlins is the rear dampener adjustment is towards the bottom of the strut. No need to drill holes in the vehicle to install extenders.

 

A few pics.
Here's the Vorshlag plates.


Here you can see the dampener adjuster on the rear strut.


Front strut adjustment is also at the bottom. So for both it's just a matter of reaching behind the wheel and changing a few clicks.


From above.

 

I have Ohlins and Vorshlag on my Mini GP2. They are great. No need to be cheap with these cars.

 

Thanks so much ECS Tuning. Sorry i missed this post... Dammit Jim!

 

Late response... sorry - i missed your posts.

 

I have this same set up. I love it. I track the car often and have had spherical bearing fail in one of the camber plates. Vorshlag is great though and will replace bearing for 70$, but have to take part the front suspension and realign. Getting a bit pricey.

What cambers are people running other than -2 all around? I currently have -2.5 front and -1.5 rear. Not sure what to think. Feels good but wondering if there is a better option

 

Thank for the feedback I'm still saving but that's the setup I'm going with. 👍

 

Do vorshlag fit with stock strut brace on gp2?

 

Considering this setup for my 2013 JCW Clubman. Would the spring rates work for the Clubman as they do other Mini models?
