FAQ
Please refer to the followings for answers to most frequently asked questions about Specialized Damper.
Q1: I want to drive at circuit with my classic car. Is it possible to produce dampers for this purpose?
A1: Yes. We will do our best to meet your request, not just for circuit use.
We can make dampers of sizes and specifications you like, if specified at the time of order.
In such case, we need to have detailed data and measurements of the vehicle.

As Specialized Damper is fully made to order one by one, we keep the record of detailed information / specification on each and every Specialized Damper on our system. Also, Specialized Damper can be overhauled and/or revalved to meet your preference.
Q3: I am planning to order Specialized Damper for my car, which is currently undergoing restoration. Is it possible to determine ride height, specification, etc?
