Specifications

Upper Mount Depending on the vehicle, kit will be either a mountless kit using OE mounts, kit with pillow ball upper mounts or kit with reinforced rubber upper mounts.
A) Twin-Tube Structure Long stroke, less friction due to low internal gas pressure covers various street driving scenes.
B) Full-Length Ride Height Adjustment Feature Full-length adjustment system with the use of movable lower bracket allows for separate adjustment of ride height and pre-load. Bump-to-rebump stroke ratio from 1G would not be affected if ride height is adjusted only by the use of lower bracket.
C) 16-level Damping Force Adjustment Feature (Compression and Rebound Together) Well established 16-level damping force adjustment (compression and rebound together) for optimizing vehicle performance and providing wider setting capability on all kinds of roads; from streets, winding roads to highways. Specially designed needle valve controls damping force linearly at all levels. Enjoy the wide range of settings available for your driving pleasure.
D) Rust-Proofing on Threads All threading parts on shell cases are coated with specially formulated Fluorine, for outstanding rust protection as well as for smoother ride height adjustment. Electroless nickel coating combined with powder coating is applied to lower brackets.
E) Spring Straight spring, made of no-sagging, high-tensile steel with tensile strength of 200kgf/mm²(1960N/mm²). (Except some models)
F) Conical Spring Washer Conical spring washer is inserted between a bracket lock and a lower bracket, to effectively prevent loosening of a bracket lock, under various conditions.
