Coilover Struts Kits
The Coilover struts kit is a device for upgrading and modifying the vehicle suspension system. Coilovers are a popular choice for lowering the ride height. Lowering your car will lower the center of gravity, which reduces weight transfer and keeps vehicle weight more evenly distributed on the wheels and tires. You’ll have less body roll for improved cornering, less dive for better braking, and less squat for enhanced acceleration.
Functions of Coilover struts kits
- Improve suspension performance: the coilover struts kit can be adjusted according to the driver's needs and road conditions to provide better suspension performance for more flexible and faster turning and acceleration.
- Improve driving comfort: the coilover struts kit can not only improve the sports performance, but also improve the driving stability and comfort of the vehicle, and reduce the shaking and bumping of the vehicle body.
- Enhanced road surface feedback: coilover struts kit can provide more detailed road surface feedback information so that the driver can better understand the driving status of the vehicle, so as to better control the vehicle.
- Improve stability: Shock Struts can increase the stability of the vehicle, reduce the suspension response of the vehicle in unexpected situations, and improve driving safety.
To sum up, whether it is for competitive racing and refitting enthusiasts, or for ordinary car owners, it is an upgrade and refit solution that is very worth considering.
A Coilover struts kit has several components that work together to provide enhanced suspension performance and adjustability.
Components of a Coilover struts kit:
- Strut housing: A threaded steel or aluminum tube that houses the shock absorber and spring.
- Shock absorber: A hydraulic or gas-filled piston cylinder that dampens the motion of the suspension.
- Spring: A coil spring that supports the weight of the vehicle and helps absorb shocks.
- Top mount: A plate that attaches the strut assembly to the vehicle body.
- Bottom mount: A bracket that attaches the strut assembly to the suspension system.
- Adjustment knobs: Knobs or collars that thread onto the strut housing, allowing for ride height adjustment and compression/rebound damping adjustment.
- Dust boot: A cover that protects the strut housing and shock absorber from dust and debris.
- Bump stops: Rubber bumpers that prevent the suspension from bottoming out when fully compressed.
- Camber plates: Optional components that allow for camber angle adjustment and improved handling performance.
Together, these components allow for a high level of suspension adjustability and performance customization.
