The Öhlins Road & Track coilovers for Nissan GT-R R35 bring adjustable, race-grade damping to one of the most capable production cars ever built, replacing the factory adaptive suspension with a setup that gives you real control over chassis behavior on circuit. DFV technology transitions between road and race mode with a single adjustment across all four damping zones, with independent height adjustment and a 0 to 20 mm lowering range front and rear. Fully rebuildable and backed by a 2-year warranty, this kit is a serious upgrade for any R35 owner who tracks their car regularly.
Öhlins DFV Road &Track Coilovers for R35 Nissan GTR
The Öhlins Road & Track coilovers for Nissan GT-R R35 are built for a car that arrived from the factory with one of the most sophisticated suspension and drivetrain packages ever fitted to a production vehicle. The R35 GT-R is fast, all-wheel drive, and engineered with genuine track performance as a design objective; this kit takes that foundation further, replacing the standard dampers with race-grade Öhlins units that give you real control over how the car behaves on circuit, without the limitations that come with the factory adaptive suspension setup.
How the DFV System Works
Öhlins’ Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology handles the transition between road and race damping with a single adjustment. Turning the gold knob clockwise engages race mode across all four damping zones at once: low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound. Reverse it and the damper returns to a relaxed road setting. No tools, no separate adjustments per corner. On track, the DFV internals respond quickly to surface changes, keeping all four tires loaded through corners and stable under the hard braking the GT-R is capable of. The R35’s all-wheel-drive platform and transaxle layout already put power down with exceptional traction; this kit gives the chassis the damping support to make the most of that at the limit and keep the car composed and predictable when you’re pushing it hard. Off track, the same system softens its response and filters road imperfections without the harshness that typically comes with a 160 N/mm front spring rate.
Suspension Specs and Adjustment Range
Both the front and rear use aluminum monotube shock absorbers, keeping unsprung weight controlled across both axles on a car that carries significant mass. The front includes a spring preload adjuster and a separate damper length adjuster, allowing ride height and spring load to be set independently, with approximately 0 to 20 mm of lowering adjustment and a 160 N/mm spring rate. The front uses aluminum ball joint top mounts, which are fixed rather than adjustable. The rear uses an aluminum monotube shock absorber with a spring preload adjuster, a separate damper length adjuster, approximately 0 to 20 mm of lowering adjustment, and a 90 N/mm spring rate, retaining the original Nissan top mounts. The 160 N/mm front spring rate reflects the R35’s weight and the cornering forces it generates; a softer rate would allow too much body motion on a car this heavy and fast. The softer rear rate balances compliance with control, keeping the rear axle planted and communicative through corners. The 1-way 25-click adjuster covers both compression and rebound across all four corners, giving enough resolution to meaningfully shift the character of the car between road and track use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these Öhlins Road & Track coilovers fit the Nissan GT-R R35? Yes. The Öhlins Road & Track coilovers are designed specifically for the Nissan GT-R R35. Contact Bulletproof Automotive before ordering to confirm fitment for your specific build, model year, or regional variant.
How does the DFV adjustment work on the Nissan GT-R R35 coilover kit? The Dual Flow Valve (DFV) uses a single gold knob on each damper. Turning it clockwise engages race mode, adjusting low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound all at once. Turning it back returns the damper to road mode. No tools are required for the adjustment.
What is the ride height adjustment range for these coilovers? Both the front and rear dampers offer approximately 0 to 20 mm of lowering adjustment. Each corner uses a separate damper length adjuster alongside a spring preload adjuster, so ride height and spring load can be set independently of one another.
Do these coilovers require new top mounts? The front assembly includes aluminum ball joint top mounts, which are fixed rather than adjustable. The rear is designed to use the original Nissan top mounts, so no rear top mount purchase is required for a standard installation.
What are the spring rates on the Öhlins Nissan GT-R R35 coilover kit? The front spring rate is 160 N/mm and the rear spring rate is 90 N/mm. The stiff front rate is sized for the R35’s weight and the high cornering forces it generates, while the softer rear rate keeps the rear axle compliant and planted through corners on both road and track.
Can these dampers be rebuilt after extended track use? Yes. Every damper in the Öhlins Road & Track kit for Nissan GT-R R35 is fully rebuildable. This allows for servicing after heavy use and makes custom tuning possible for drivers who want to optimize the setup for a specific track or driving style.

Shipping Policy
-+
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.
BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well.
For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
