TEIN Subaru WRX / WRX STI (14-21) RX1 Coilovers

In regular shock absorbers, bump rubber is vital to avoid damage from bottoming out. Unfortunately it causes instability, because when a large impact compresses it, energy thus amassed is released upwards.RX1 however uses the Hydraulic Bump Stopper to convert the impact to thermal energy and absorb it. This strongly reduces the shock, and there's no repulsion force. Swiftly absorbing the impact of big jumps, H.B.S. effects a steady vehicle.

The Hydraulic Bump Stopper (H.B.S.) Mechanism In shock absorbers with inactive or no H.B.S., the operative valve (green) floats, and oil flows freely through the base valve ports. Resistance to the flow from the shim stack then, causes damping force. Near full compression, when the piston rod strokes beyond a predetermined point, the operative valve is pushed down and activates H.B.S.: the base valve ports are narrowed, blocking the oil flow. This results in high damping force.

A relief valve serves to suppress sudden damping force increase, when the pressure in the cylinder exceeds its regular level. The setup of the H.B.S. mechanism is optimized per vehicle model, with the right activation point and damping force. Camber Adjustable Lower Bracket Lower brackets on strut type suspensions come with camber angle adjustment feature. Camber angle can be adjusted by rotating the eccentric washer 180°. This feature can enable camber angle adjustment, even if it can not be adjusted with the upper mounts.*Except some models (e.g. strut with inset type brackets)Full-length Adjustable

Advantage: adjusting ride height has little effect on ride quality. In addition to combining a low down style with ride comfort, this system offers more setup options for sport driving too. Twin-TubeCompared to the regular mono-tube system, twin-tube attains longer strokes with a smaller repulsive force, resulting in high ride comfort. Roads may have all sorts of surface conditions. This calls for shock absorbers with ample stroke, that operate smoothly .Thanks to flexible strokes, you can negotiate gaps and bumps steadily on rough roads, meaning a smooth ride at low speed and stability at high speed .Damping Force AdjustableRX1 features 16-level damping force adjustment, for simultaneous adjustment of compression and rebound. Modify ride comfort and handling according to your preference, changing the properties of the shock absorber with the adjustment dial. Mounts Included An easy-to-install mount, exclusively designed for each vehicle model, is included in the product kit.
