Öhlins Street Tuned Coilover Suspension System for Tesla Model 3 / Y

For over four decades, Öhlins has maintained a rich heritage of high-end racing involvement and cutting-edge advancements in suspension technology, now brought to street vehicles across the globe. Öhlins has been unwavering in its goal from the very beginning: to deliver unmatched road performance while preserving ride comfort for everyday use, marking the end of the era of compromises. Each of Öhlins’ shock absorbers undergoes extensive corrosion testing following ISO 9227 standards, ensuring durability and reliability. This commitment to quality is underscored by a 2-year limited warranty available worldwide on all Öhlins products.

Road & Track Systems

• Öhlins represents the pinnacle of innovation and high-end performance enhancements for vehicles. A prime illustration of this commitment is their Road & Track suspension range. In alignment with their core philosophy, these products are designed to bring the exhilaration of the racetrack to everyday street driving. Öhlins selects only the finest materials, ensuring impeccable quality alongside their patented Dual-Flow-Valve (DFV) technology, which guarantees optimal traction without sacrificing comfort. The era of compromise has come to an end. Experience the unmatched performance and comfort of Öhlins for yourself. The Öhlins Road & Track coilover kit is engineered with a softer setup, prioritizing maximum comfort and enhanced stability for an unparalleled driving experience.

The Features of DFV Technology

• What is DFV? It refers to Dual Flow Valve technology, a feature that distinguishes Öhlins from its competitors. This innovative technology is exclusive to Öhlins’ road and track products.
• The Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology ensures consistent performance during both rebound and compression by allowing the damper fluid to flow smoothly in both directions. This functionality enables the wheel and tire to swiftly return to their optimal position on the road, ensuring maximum grip and traction. Öhlins’ latest Road & Track (R&T) series incorporates DFV technology across all its models, offering the ideal solution for enthusiasts seeking both comfort and agility in a single upgrade.
• Benefits of DFV – The DFV technology enables quicker and smoother opening over minor road imperfections, resulting in a ride comfort that closely resembles that of an OEM strut rather than a traditional coilover setup. On uneven terrains, the adaptability of the Road & Track (R&T) units allows vehicles to navigate bumps and potholes with ease, ensuring stability and control are maintained. This ensures traction is consistently optimized.
• Thermal Expansion – Dampers heating up is a certainty, as friction generated by the piston’s movement within the damper produces heat. While stopping heat generation is impossible, Öhlins has developed a method to manage it, setting them apart from competitors. As temperatures rise, the viscosity of the damper fluid may change, which can affect the vehicle’s handling. Öhlins’ innovative needle bleed valve is designed to expand with heat, reducing the fluid’s flow space and thus ensuring a consistent damping rate. The remarkable part? This process is seamless to the driver. The consistent response of the vehicle, regardless of laps or turns, allows drivers to focus solely on their braking points and apexes, trusting Öhlins technology to handle the damping with precision.
• Other Features
  • When it comes to adjusting ride height on coilover units, the method employed is critical. Many lesser designs adjust height by altering the position of the lower spring platform, which compresses or extends the spring and potentially limits suspension travel, leading to topping out. In contrast, Öhlins utilizes a technique where the spring seat remains in its optimal position, while the lower flange smoothly rotates on the threaded body. This allows for precise adjustments without compromising the meticulously engineered characteristics inherent in Öhlins products. After setting the desired height, the adjuster locks in place to preserve the precise settings.
  • These kits perform exceptionally well straight ‘out of the box,’ yet they offer ample room for personal customization. Whether you prefer a stiff and reactive setup or a softer, more forgiving ride, the options are readily available. Excessive low-speed rebound damping might negatively impact grip, but the conveniently located adjuster at the base of the Öhlins units facilitates minor adjustments in fine increments, allowing for detailed personalization considering various parameters. Worried it sounds complex? It’s actually quite straightforward. A few simple adjustments from the factory settings can significantly tailor your vehicle’s response to align with your unique driving preferences and style.
  • The Road & Track McPherson struts come equipped with upper and lower mounts that are adjustable for camber, offering you the flexibility to precisely align your wheels for any situation — whether it’s a leisurely drive around your neighborhood or an exhilarating weekend on the racetrack.
