4-WAY shock absorber
The 4-way is our top product. The damper is adjustable in the low-speed compression,
the high-speed compression, rebound and the overall reach of the low-speed
compression; these can all be adjusted separate. The inner works is much more
advanced than our other dampers and contains 115 precision engineered parts.
The low-speed compression damping controls the front-rear and left-right movements
of the car (“pitch” and “roll”).The high-speed compression controls the movement of
the wheels over sharp bumps, like marbles and curb stones.
The rebound damping controls the body movements and absorbs unwanted energies,
which otherwise would unsettle the car.
The 4-way can be equipped with spring rate adjusters and the “Black Titan” coating. In
special applications, if the physical room allows us, we can fit the “XL” version,
upgrading the diameter from 45 to a huge 50 or even 52mm.
Settings
We take suspension serious. Therefore we offer for most applications different
settings on the spring rates, shim stacks and damping pistons:
•
Fast street / occasional track day
. An upgrade to the sportive side from the
OEM equipment. Daily comfort, vibration and noise levels are just as important as
handling.
•
Track day / bumpy race circuit
. A suspension to race on both smooth and
bumpy circuits. It is possible to ride to- and from the circuits. Ride height is enough to
drive on public roads. Lap times and handling are more important than comfort levels.
•
Full-race / rally.
Stiff suspension, designed to work with slicks and roll cage
fitted. Not useable on the street. Lap time optimized.
