What is Adjustable Damping?

Damping controls a suspension system's movement and oscillation, managing how quickly it compresses and rebounds over bumps, potholes, and road imperfections. Coilovers with adjustable damping feature a knob or valve, letting drivers change the stiffness or softness of the suspension.

How Adjustable Damping Works

By turning the adjustment knob or valve, drivers alter the damping force, affecting compression and rebound. Turning the knob toward a firmer setting reduces body roll and improves handling for aggressive driving. Turning it toward a softer setting increases ride comfort for daily commuting or leisurely drives.

Benefits of Adjustable Damping

Customized Ride Comfort

Adjustable damping lets drivers tailor suspension stiffness to their preferences. Whether you want a smooth ride for daily use or a firmer setup for spirited driving, it allows for a personalized driving experience.

Enhanced Handling and Stability

Firmer damping settings reduce body roll and improve cornering, while softer settings enhance traction and stability on uneven surfaces.

Adaptability to Road Conditions

Adjustable damping allows suspension tuning for different surfaces, from smooth highways to bumpy or rough roads, ensuring optimal performance and comfort in every scenario.

Improved Performance

For performance driving, adjustable damping lets you fine-tune compression and rebound for track days or competitive driving, improving handling, braking, and high-speed cornering.

Dialing It All In

Adjustable damping transforms your coilovers into a fully customizable suspension system. It provides a perfect balance between ride comfort and performance, enhancing handling, stability, and overall driving enjoyment. Whether for daily commuting, spirited driving, or track performance, adjustable damping ensures your classic car or truck delivers its full potential.
