Ohlins Product Application Guide
Suspensions are very subjective. One person may deem a suspension kit to be street-able while another may deem the same kit to be track only. At 3DM, we strive to fulfil the needs of everyone.

Öhlins DFV Technology
80% street use, 20% track use
Daily Drivers | Canyon Drivers | Occasional Track Use
The Öhlins Road and Track suspension systems are great for both the street and the track, however, we have found that many customers want an adjustable performance damper but geared more towards the street.
Öhlins Road & Track
Öhlins DFV Technology
Daily Drivers | Track Toys | Auto X | Weekend Warriors
The Öhlins Road and Track range was born out of their Motorsport program, where the impossible has to be made possible, so you can expect the same level of care and attention to detail on the R&T range. Damping rate on the R&T units is fully adjustable and ties compression and rebound together as a matched setting, meaning that in 99% of cases, the units will work superbly, straight ‘out of the box’ with only the smallest adjustments required to suit the car or drivers individual preferences.

Our TrackDay kits take the Öhlins Road and Track dampers to the next level. They are focused more towards the track yet still retain decent street-ability. While you certainly can “set it and forget it” with these kits, they are geared more towards the person who wants to tinker with their suspension on a regular basis.
Öhlins DFV Technology
Dedicated Track Cars | AutoX | Trip to Cars & Coffee
These kits have been designed for cars that see nothing but track use. They are similar in fitment to our TrackDay Series kits but with much higher spring rates and valving to match including a modified Dual Flow Valve setup.
Öhlins TTX Technology
Track Toys | Club Racecars | Professional Racecars
Öhlins Racing developed the Twin Tube (TTX) technology back in 2002, first used in formula racing series. Since then, the TTX-technology has been developed further to maximize the performance on the track and are now widely featured in all top-level racing. With the TTX-technology you receive the highest level of suspension technology, a real racing product. The TTX products comes in a variety of dimensions, lengths and designs, all tested by our qualified test drivers. With the individual adjusters for the compression- and rebound valve you have the best possible option to set up your car for the track day. When driving on the limit, it puts immense stress on your equipment, tires, suspension, brakes, bushings etc. Öhlins TTX-technology allows you to push the car to the limit. Shock absorbers can experience loss of damping, cavitation when pushed over the limit of optimal performance. With Öhlins TTX-technology cavitation has been eliminated with the unique design. The TTX-technology always keeps the pressure balanced within the shock absorber. Hence you will never experience a pressure drop or loss of damping performance when pushing your car to the limit to set the fastest lap time. The Öhlins TTX shock absorbers are racer friendly shock absorbers, easy to set up, dial in and rebuild.
Öhlins TTX Technology
The 3DM Suspension Öhlins TTX Motorsport suspension systems are an evolution of the TTX Pro dampers. These are custom built to order for your specific vehicle.

We can incorporate dust boots for exotic car kits so they can be used on the street. The sky is the limit! Contact us for a consult.
RALLY MOTORSPORT
Rally Cross | Professional Rally
The proven Group N technology is based on WRC experience and a WRC developed Dynamic Compression Control (DCC) and Dynamic Rebound Control (DRC) for the front TPX dampers. The Progressive Damping System (PDS) increases the performance in jumps and also maintaining temperature stability (front gravel). A WRC developed Stroke Dependent Rebound (SDR) improves overall traction, performance in jumping and the stability when cutting corners as well. The twin piston McPherson strut also has a reinforced outer tube in high strength steel with calibrated bushing seats. The rear TTX damper has an extruded cylinder tube that creates less damper hysteresis which means improved wheel control and traction on the rear axle.
ADVENTURE SYSTEM
On/Off Road Vehicle
A unique blend of off and on-road performance based on the STX damper technology. These systems can be customized and extended for lifted vehicles.
