TEIN RX-1 COILOVERS W/ HYDRAULIC BUMP STOP - 15-21 WRX, 15-21 STI
Description:
RX-1 is equipped with a new feature "Hydraulic Bump Stopper (H.B.S.)" which has been tested and proven effective in the world's harshest motorsports including the World Rally Championship and European Rally Championship. When a lowered vehicle goes over big bumps, urethane or rubber bump stopper often causes a big upward jolt and/or rebound and can disturb controllability. On FLEX A, H.B.S., mounted inside the shock absorber, effectively generates damping force near and/or at full-bump, to absorb big impact smoothly. Comfortable rides in vehicles even at full occupancy will revolutionize the industry.
Features:
- Adjustable front camber
- Hydraulic bump stoppers
- Ride height adjustment: from 1 to -88 mm (front) and 19 to -81 mm (rear)
- Spring rates: 8 kgF/mm (front) and 7 kgF/mm (rear)
- 16-stage damping adjustment
- Compatible with Tein EDFC (EDK05-12140)
- OEM specification brake hose fittings
- Anti-corrosion coating and dust boots
How the H.B.S. Mechanism Works
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.
