I have them on my 2017 and there is annoying sound from the rear springs because of the trimming the springs don't fit best. I'm not sure if a helper spring will solve that (it might). Vorshlag is your best bet as they can sell you correctly trimmed rear control arms as well as Ohlins. Overall the shocks are very good and made real improvements in how my car handle on track. But I got Ohlins because in Europe is easier to source. I guess in the states there are other options: MCS mainly was my other choice because they could be upgraded. Or if you had the money JRi.

Yeah it's not a big deal I'm driving like that for 2+ years and you get used to it but still the fitment could have been better. Though Ford are to blame here.

Hello, is this the proper way to install ohlins on a 2020? Is the gap supposed to be there? I could not tell from ohlins instructions.
