MONO RACING

MONO RACING is developed to satisfy the drivers who frequently take their cars for a spin at the race tracks. Based on the settings of the high-end model SUPER RACING and on a wealth of data gained through participation in various motorsports, spring rates and damping force for MONO RACING are determined to be most suitable for sports driving.

For front strut suspensions, MONO RACING includes the camber and caster angle adjustable pillow ball upper mounts evolved from SUPER RACING upper mounts. Many upper mounts provide camber adjustment feature, but MONO RACING upper mounts are also caster adjustable. Camber angle can be adjusted steplessly while caster angle adjustment is available in 4 steps and both can be adjusted individually.
*Except some models.

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. Both adjustments at the upper mounts, if applicable, and the lower brackets combined allows for total camber angle adjustment to meet various needs and preferences.

• Optional camber adjustment washers with different offsets are available.
  Mono Racing uses Type-C adjustment washers.
• Except some models (e.g. struts with inset type brackets)

At the time of purchase of a new MONO RACING kit, +/-2kgf/mm of the standard spring set can be chosen, for a free of charge.
*Only +2kgf/mm springs are available for some models.

Thinking of customizing the damping force settings and/or stroke length, to meet your driving styles? You can have that done when purchasing a new kit at lower prices than having overhaul job done later on.

• Normal lead time is about 2 weeks from the time of order.
• Extending Stroke charge includes the price of replacement piston rod.
  Stroke change service might not be available for some vehicle models. Consult TEIN for details.

Mono tube structure of MONO RACING completely separates the oil chamber and the gas chamber and hence aeration does not occur. This enables stable generation of linear damping force, reacting to the finest changes in road surfaces, even when running aggressively and repeatedly on circuits. With this, superior-quality MONO RACING offers capability for the most delicate control of the vehicle and for the deepest level of communication with the roads.

For strut type suspensions, which require high lateral stiffness, highly-rigid "Upright Strong Tube" structure, the fruit of participation in professional motorsports worldwide such as WRC & WRX, is adopted.

Damping force adjustment knob attached to the top of the shock absorber allows easier access, making the repeaded adjustment within the limited time less hassle, and makes the installation of EDFC motors (optional) a breeze.

Waterproofing process, which is a must for inverted types, is reduced/simplified greatly.

Use of specially-designed urethane bump rubbers effectively reduces the bump impact, to maintain the comfortable ride even when going over bumps/gaps and to protect dampers from bottoming out. (The image shown is for wishbone / multi-link types. Some models use OE bump rubbers.)

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.

MONO RACING uses "ADVANCE M.S.V." for damping force adjustment feature. "ADVANCE M.S.V." combines "M.S.V." mechanism to finely control damping force in micro speed range with "ADVANCE Needle" to widen the damping force adjustable range, for superior steering response and traction performance, fully utilizing the damping force adjustable range.

MONO RACING 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.

The EDFC Series offer easy damping force adjustment from the driver's seat.*
