Designed for drivers who demand more

This performance damper and spring package is celebrated by club racers and hardcore track-day enthusiasts for its consistency under heat, smooth and predictable responses and long-term durability. It uses premium materials to resist corrosion and reduce mass, with ultra-low friction internals that keep the chassis settled and the tyres working at their best, stint after stint.

• Wide-range damping adjustment via a single control dial for quick, repeatable setup changes
• Precision-built shocks that maintain composure under sustained hard use on circuit and on fast road
• Corrosion-resistant construction with lightweight components for dependable performance
