Öhlins Suspension | The Global Benchmark in Damping Excellence
Unrivalled chassis control born from a legacy of racing dominance. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for Öhlins Suspension. As the premier choice for factory-equipped supercars and championship-winning race teams, Öhlins delivers a level of precision that redefines vehicle dynamics. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for their elite range of Road & Track coilovers and professional motorsport dampers.
The Öhlins DFV Advantage & Thermal Consistency
Öhlins is distinguished by their patented DFV (Dual Flow Valve) technology. Unlike standard dampers that struggle to react to sudden high-velocity impacts, the DFV opens instantly to absorb ripples and kerbs, ensuring the tyre remains in constant contact with the road. This results in a "planted" feel that provides massive grip on the track while remaining surprisingly supple on the street. Furthermore, their unique temperature-sensitive needle valve compensates for fluid viscosity changes as the damper heats up, ensuring your handling remains consistent from the first lap to the last.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the flagship Öhlins performance range:
• Road & Track (DFV) Series: The ultimate all-rounder. Featuring independent height and preload adjustment for the Civic Type R (FL5/FK8), Toyota GR86 (ZN8) / 86 (ZN6), and Subaru BRZ (ZD8/ZC6).
• Dedicated Track Systems: Purpose-built for competition, featuring higher spring rates and track-optimised valving for the BMW M2 (G87/F87) and M3/M4 (G8X/F8X) platforms.
• TTX Motorsport Series: The pinnacle of twin-tube technology, providing independent 2-way, 3-way, or 4-way adjustability for professional GT and Time Attack builds.
• EDC Cancellation Kits: High-quality "plug-and-play" modules that allow you to upgrade to Öhlins coilovers without triggering dashboard errors on vehicles equipped with electronic damping.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical expertise to assist you in fine-tuning your "clicks" to suit Australian road and track conditions. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your authentic Swedish hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
Öhlins Suspension FAQ
What makes DFV technology so special?
DFV (Dual Flow Valve) is a secondary internal valve that allows the damper fluid to bypass the main piston during sudden, high-speed movements—like hitting a square-edged bump or a track kerb. This allows the wheel to move up and back down much faster than a conventional damper, maintaining a stable contact patch and preventing the car from being "upset" by road imperfections.
Do Öhlins coilovers require regular servicing?
Yes, to maintain their world-class performance, Öhlins recommends a service interval of approximately 30,000–50,000 kilometres for street use, or more frequently for dedicated track cars. Because they are fully rebuildable, a professional service can return them to "as new" factory specifications.
How quickly can you source Öhlins products?
We utilise a robust international and local supply network to provide the fastest possible turnaround. Most Road & Track kits for popular Australian performance platforms are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery nationwide.
