FPSpec Ohlins DFV "Long Stroke" Coilover Kit (ND MIATA)

*Due to high order volume, please allow 1-2 weeks to hand valve these shocks here on site, in our Ohlins Motorsports Authorized valving-lab.

The FPSpec "Long-Stroke": The FPSpec Long-Stroke is the no-compromise custom DFV kit (the same kit that took first place at STR Nationals driven by Ian Stewart!). This kit can be customized from low spring rate Ultra Grand Touring 6/3kg and below, all the way up to full on Race kits (typically 11/6kg) with optional helper springs. The FPSpec includes all of the features of the ClubSport Kits plus, even longer stroke custom DFV shock bodies to allow for soft spring rates or high race rates with helper springs, Ultra-Accurate Swift brand main and helper springs - in custom Ohlins Yellow color, One-Piece Billet Rear Lower Mounts - light/rigid/and make room for extra shock body length for more stroke, and billet aluminum front forks (lighter and stronger than their standard steel fork counterparts). The no-compromise custom Ohlins DFV solution, engineered by SakeBomb Garage and MiataSpeed!

Exclusive features:

30% More Rear Stroke

Longer stroke means more total travel, and completely eliminates the need for pre-load all the way down to 3K spring rates. These custom ultra-long-length damper bodies increase rebound and compression travel to provide maximum performance and drivability regardless of spring rate. Longer stroke also allows the use of helper or assist springs for maximum suspension performance.

Billet Aluminum Lower Mounting Forks

Critical to the FPSpëc design is a single piece billet aluminum rear lower mounting fork. The single piece design increases strength and eliminates wasted length. This allows the exclusive long stroke damper to be installed while still reducing the assembly’s total length. The end result is a lower ride height than the standard Öhlins DFV kit for optimal track performance and appearance, while maximizing travel. On the front damper, a billet fork has been designed to further improve strength.

We are proud to introduce our SakeBomb Garage FPSpëc Long-Stroke Öhlins DFV. The ultimate solution in customized suspension, specifically aimed at the Miata enthusiast.

Since its introduction, the Öhlins DFV line has revolutionized coilovers, and as a result, no longer are customers forced to choose between performance and ride quality. The Öhlins DFV valving design made it possible to have a truly track worthy damper that was also not only livable, but comfortable on the street due to the patented Öhlins DFV technology.  Sakebomb Garage is proud to provide this cutting edge, modern suspension technology, for your Miata.

Specially Tailored Spring Rate Options, Optional Custom Spring Rates Available

We don’t believe in having you dig through forums to try to figure out what spring rates, ride heights and settings other people think are comfortable or easy to drive.  For the ND, we are offering two specially tailored spring rate combinations to suite the vast majority of customer’s applications.  Each kit includes a detailed assembly guide including preload and free-length settings to achieve your specified ride height.

Floating Aluminum Tophat with Aurora Bearings and Bullet Nose Studs

Floating aluminum top hats eliminate bending loads on the spring and damper reducing friction on the damper and providing a perfectly parallel spring platform. This reduces hysteresis to ensure consistent, predictable damper performance in all conditions while extending the life of your damper. The only choice of top race teams, Aurora’s stainless steel, teflon lined spherical bearings provide high strength, silent articulation and will never rust.

Same Dual Flow Valve Technology That You Have Came to Love

Derived from Öhlins Racing heritage, the DFV is uniquely able to provide the damping support needed to snake through a slalom at an autocross yet being silky smooth while attacking the apex curbs at the track. The Öhlins DFV has become the defacto road & track damper choice for the ND Miata and many other platforms due to its impressive combination of body control during aggressive driving while maintaining ride comfort on rough roads. The simple fact is: no other damper near this price point has the ability to keep up.

High Torque, Non-Marring Adjustment Spanners

When it comes time to make adjustments, we’ve designed an exclusive non-marring high-torque adjustment spanner to avoid damaging the spring perches. With multiple engagement teeth, it provides positive engagement to avoid slippage and protect your knuckles from the wrath of punching a control arm. A 14mm open end wrench is provided for quick removal of the damper adjustment knob. Also includes a 3/8” breaker-bar attachment for pesky long stuck jam nuts and finally a bottle opener for those long nights in a cold garage.
