my car came over from Japan with Ohlins on it. I'm certain that they are the same as what you have in your picture. They seem spot on for the car.

my car also came from Japan with Ohlins on it. It's been off the road for the last month because the front near side blew out :(

I'll be selling them soon if you want some spares... :D The other 3 are fine!

I looked into that type before and found most were made under licence in Japan and did a bit of searching on them.This is what I found:

Hi Simon,

The dampers you refer to in your email are built under licence from Ohlins by a company called Soki in Japan, they are the same type of damper as the Ohlins Road and Track series. You will not find your application on the Ohlins web site as Soki will not supply to Europe.

The price to rebuild them is £125+VAT per unit.

I hope this helps,

Best Regards

I was told that they are not of the same quality as the original Ohlins but better than stock.
