I am guessing the Ohlins on the auction below are a good thing and if so how do I go about getting hands on them, and what would be a good price for them?

Personally I use Ewan at Hayatonka, They dont look to bad a price but they are PCV not DFVs.

Stupid questions, but what is PCV and DFV?

Just the different specs like bc gold and red

The PCVs (Parallel Compression Valve) are the old generation of Ohlins. These were revised a few years back to the DFVs (Dual Flow Valve). http://www.roadandtrackbyohlins.com/en/the-technology/ explains it. You may as well pay the bit extra to get the DFV technology as it gets perfect results on the shock dyno. Plus it's supposed to cope with much abuse and deal with the shocks heating up on the fly, be more comfortable, offer better rebound and basically be more awesome than the competitors I guess.

Realistically I probably won't notice the performance gains or push them to the limit but if they help me beat Kieran then they're all good

May as well get the best shocks you can to maximise grip right?

Mazda makes iconic convertible sports car, non-convertible version gets more sought after.
