Have you a vid of OE stuff to compare? Are the Ohlins better? Worth changing?
Your views appreciated....

Nice clip. What is that rubbing sound though, or is that just the sound of downshifting?

So does a rubbing tire, doesn't mean it's a good thing. Just commenting on what I heard, since it's occurring when the wheels start really turning and lets up as he comes out of it.

It does sound like rubber against the front mud guard. What else could it be, I wonder?
M3W, now!!!

It does sound like rubber against the front mud guard. What else could it be, I wonder? On my 2016 car both front mudguards sit over an inch too far inwards in relation to tyre. The tyre doesn't touch but wonder how MMC could have got this so wrong, as other cars I've seen are similar.

Yes, that rubbing sound is my tire rubbing on the inside of the fender.
I've tried two other shock brands and find the Ohlins have a far superior ride, smoother control of the wheel motion.

My fenders are spaced radically different, side to side. I need to get a photo.

NOTICE the Empire upper suspension joint that is about 3" out from the frame.
