Damping adjustment

Damping controls how quickly the suspension moves. A combined control changes compression and rebound together. Separate controls let you adjust them independently. More controls mean more setup choices; they do not guarantee a better ride.

Spring rates

A spring-rate pair normally lists front, then rear. Keep the unit shown on the kit specification: kgf/mm (often written kg/mm) and N/mm are different units. The right rate depends on the car and setup. Ask us before choosing a custom rate or changing springs.

Read the illustrated guide
Top mounts

Some kits reuse the original mounts; others include rubber or pillowball mounts. Camber adjustment depends on the mount and suspension layout. Check the exact configuration rather than assuming the representative photograph shows every included part.

Electronic / adaptive dampers

If your car has factory electronic damping, tell us before ordering. The kit may retain that function, require an additional compatible cancellation solution, or have a specific exclusion. The correct answer depends on the vehicle and exact kit.

Ride height and installation

Lowering ranges and required parts vary by application. Read the kit notes and use a qualified installer. Changes to ride height affect alignment, so ask your installer to check the setup after installation.
