Non-electronic car shocks Inverted struts with 38mm piston, LIGHT, RIGID, LOW FRICTION Eye-eye, eye-pin, pin-pin shocks with 38mm or 46mm piston Adjustments - One way - Two way - Three way Reservoir / canister - Fixed - Hose - In line (integrated) MODELS: BMW M4, BMW E90, BMW E46 BMW E36, New Mini, All Porsches >= 2000,Seat Leon Copa, Audi R8, Ford Mustang, Nissan GTR, Mazda Miyata, Subaru GR / BRZ / GD Mazda Miyata
Non-electronic car shocks : three way hose reservoir
Non-electronic car shocks : In line
Dynamic Damping Adjustment DDA Dynamic Damping Adjustment valve Electric valve is mounted on piston rod inside shock absorber Adjusts directly rebound and compression oil flow Adjusts up to 10 kn damping in 10 ms PATENTED
Tractive Control unit TCU-4 Remote control panel Push button, cable-connected to TCU4, small and can be customer-engineered Bluetooth remote control Android phone or any other android touch screen in car connected by bluetooth module to TCU-4
Tractive ACE Active Controlled Electronic Suspension Technology based on DDA valves Remote control / Bluetooth TCU-4 DDA left front DDA right front DDA left rear DDA right rear Battery, ignition Functionality stand alone ACE ( Active Controlled Electronic ) Technology Change damping in 5 levels comfort-normal-sport On acceleration, deceleration active change of damping ratios can be set front rear to control squat & dive While cornering active change of damping ratios can be set left right to control roll Control damping front and rear axle independently, control understeeroversteer Control unit can be programmed from windows platform
R-ACE Example Seat LEON en Audi R8 in 24h Endurance races Barcelona, Dubai, Mugello, Zandvoort& Hungary
World s-only Plug & Play electronic shocks WHY: More comfort in comfort mode More control in sport mode All advantages of a high end aftermarketsuspension: dampingtuning, light weight, different springs, serviceable Canbeextendedwithreservoir & compression adjusters Can be lowered HOW: Tractive DDA valve and damping characteristicscanbemade compatible and optimized with respect to OEM suspension control World s only Plug & Play shocks for Nissan GTR electronic suspension with inline reservoir to set the active compression range
BMW M4 Plug & Play electronic shocks
