What are Coilovers?
A coilover suspension basically gives you a matched lowering spring and
shock absorber combination with the added benefit of adjustable ride
height and spring rates through a moveable spring perch or perches.
Coilovers are to your car's advantage by reducing unsprung mass,
increasing suspension travel, and allowing the car to be corner
balanced.

Rebound Adjustment Variant
2 and 3
Rebound adjustment, with the exception of specified vehicles,
can be performed with the kit installed via an adjustment
spindle on the end of the piston rod. The rebound damping
primarily, controls pitch and roll of the vehicle, especially in
the low speed damping range which directly influences handling
and comfort. Therefore vehicle can be adjusted to the needs of
the driver, making the ride variable from comfortable to sporty
and stiff, both with improved road handling |
Pressure adjustment
Variant 3
The compression characteristics are adjusted utilizing a new,
patented valve at the lower end of the damper casing. The number
of pre-installable parameters available for this valve allow for
settings for just about any application required. The unique
low-speed pressure adjustment is the decisive feature of this
technology. In this absorption area the handling of the vehicle
is greatly influenced. An increase in the damping force supports
the vehicle even during compression, thereby preventing pitch,
roll and notably improving cornering behavior.
In association with independent adjustable
rebound absorption the experienced driver has all the parameters
required for effective suspension tuning. |
