The legs of your car. The suspension is as important as the engine to making your car a great driving machine. It is what keeps your car on the road and assists your steering to controlling the car when flying around turns and on the straights.
A single coilover is composed of the following:
-Upper Mount: The plate which bolts onto the frame of the car. Also adjusts camber for Strut type suspension.
-Spring: Supports the weight of the car. Springs come in all sizes and Spring Rates (measure of how hard a spring is. Normally shown in kgf/mm measurements.)
-Lower Seat: Holds up the bottom of the Spring. Height adjustment is made with the raising and lowering of the Lower Seat in Coilover Suspension kits that are not Fully Adjustable.
-Bracket Lock Seat: Instead of raising/lowering the Lower Seat in your standard suspension to raise/lower the ride height of your car, the Bracket Lock Seat does the job without having to worry about messing with the spring in Fully Adjustable Suspension Kits.
-Damper: A case filled with oil and gas. A piston floating within the Damper is pushed down and rises up, resulting in "dampening."
There are many types of Coilover Suspension kits out there to choose from for any and every application. From the circuit only kit for the GT race machine to the family friendly van, there is something for everyone.
