◆ About Ohlins

The Ohlins story

Ohlins is a Swedish suspension company founded in 1976 by motorcycle racer Kenth Ohlins. From its origins in motorcycle racing, Ohlins expanded into automotive suspension and became the world's leading premium damper manufacturer — trusted by Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and BMW for OEM applications, and by thousands of track enthusiasts who demand the absolute best suspension performance. Ohlins dampers are used in Formula 1, IMSA, and Le Mans racing.

What makes Ohlins exceptional is their monotube damper technology combined with independent compression and rebound adjustment. Unlike simpler coilover systems, Ohlins allows you to tune compression and rebound independently across multiple speed ranges (low-speed for body control, high-speed for bump compliance). This level of adjustability is rare outside professional racing. Swedish manufacturing means tight tolerances, consistent quality, and engineering transparency — every specification is engineered for the specific platform it's designed for.

At Foreign Automotive in Kitchener-Waterloo, we install Ohlins coilovers on Porsches, BMWs, Audis, and exotic cars where customers demand suspension performance comparable to the rest of the platform. Ohlins fitment requires precision alignment and height setup to extract the full benefit. Our technicians understand geometry and have the equipment to dial in spring rates, damping, and alignment for your specific driving goals. Customers from Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, and across the GTA work with us for flawless installation. Every installation includes wheel alignment and is backed by our 24-month labour warranty.

◆ FAQ

Ohlins — frequently asked

Common questions from Ohlins customers across Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and the GTA. Don't see yours? Call us at (519) 894-9551.

Are Ohlins worth the price compared to KW or Bilstein?

Yes, if you're committed to precision suspension tuning and track use. Ohlins' independent compression/rebound adjustment and manufacturing precision are unmatched — you can dial in your car's handling to a level KW and Bilstein simply can't match. For street-only use, KW is excellent value. For track work or serious drivers, Ohlins' flexibility justifies the cost.

How much lower will my car sit?

Ohlins offers a range of spring rates and ride heights depending on the specific kit. Typical lowering is 1.0-1.5 inches front and rear, but this varies by platform and your chosen setup. We'll discuss your target ride height and handling goals during fitment.

Do I need to adjust Ohlins after installation?

Out of the box, Ohlins are set to reasonable street/track-biased settings. Most customers don't need to adjust them initially. However, you can dial in compression and rebound to fine-tune your car's balance for your driving style and road conditions. We can guide you through basic adjustments or provide a baseline setup if desired.

Will Ohlins damage my car's warranty?

Any suspension modification may affect your manufacturer's warranty. We can discuss this during the consultation. Generally, dealers will honor warranty claims on unrelated systems, but suspension-specific issues may not be covered. It's worth understanding your car's warranty terms before modifying.

Do I need alignment after Ohlins installation?

Yes — absolutely. Ride height changes affect camber, caster, and toe angles. We include full 4-wheel alignment with every Ohlins installation to ensure your car tracks true and tire wear is even.

Can Ohlins be installed on a car with existing damage or modifications?

We assess your car's current suspension condition and any previous modifications (lowering springs, worn dampers, bent control arms) before installation. Previous suspension damage must be addressed before fitting Ohlins to ensure safe, predictable handling.

What's the warranty on Ohlins?

Ohlins offers a 2-year limited warranty on coilovers and dampers. We back every installation with our 24-month labour warranty and will handle any Ohlins warranty claims on your behalf.

Do you serve customers outside Kitchener-Waterloo?

Yes — we install Ohlins for customers from Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, and the GTA. We can ship Ohlins Canada-wide and coordinate installation. Book ahead and we'll stage your kit, perform a full alignment, and document your baseline setup.
