Default Ohlins suspension info?

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone knows the type/part number or any information regarding an Ohlins suspensions for the Escort? Front needs to be GrN (road uprights) but rear can be GrA (coil-over), "smooth tarmac" specs.

One such suspension was for sale here a few months ago:

I tried to contact Ohlins directly but got no answer so far.

Thanks in advance for any info

Cheers,
Axel from Switzerland

Default Ohlins dfv availability

Hello, my name is T.K. and I am a Escos owner in Japan and I have been in contact with Ohlins and they have agreed to build a tarmac spec damper set with coilovers for the front and full tap dampers with adjustable spring perches for the rears. Both will use the Dual Flow Valve technology and I am in the process of building a Tokyo Auto Salon car here in Japan. Stay tuned for photos and details!
