Tein RX1 Coilovers for Subaru WRX/STI 14-21 VAB/VAF/VAG - VSSB0-M1SS4

Characteristics

THE ORIGINAL CAR'S FRONT-TO-REAR ROLL RESISTANCE BALANCE, WHEN GOING OVER UNDULATIONS AND GAPS AND/OR AT CORNERS, IS IMPROVED, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE OVERALL FLAT RIDE FEEL FOR COMFORTABLE RIDE ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS EVEN IN REAR SEATS. H.B.S. MAKES EFFECTIVE USE OF COMPRESSION STROKE, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE BETTER TRACTION PERFORMANCE AND CONTROLLABILITY.

[ NOTE ] RR: INTERIOR NEEDS TO BE REMOVED, MODIFIED AND/OR RELOCATED TO AVOID INTERFERENCE WITH THE MOTOR.

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.

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 Ride Height Adjustment

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-Tube System

Compared 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 Adjustment

RX1 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.
