TEIN MonoSport Coilover Suspension Kit - Lexus RC-F
For cars often running on circuit, the settings are focused
more on sport driving. TEIN MONO SPORT
offers not only the precise steering feel that strongly appeals to sport-minded
drivers, but also the flexible movement. MONO SPORT is set up to let the
drivers enjoy the runs on circuits and/or winding roads and everyday driving on
streets with the damping force adjusted.
Mono tube structure of MONO SPORT 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 SPORT offers capability for the most delicate
control of the vehicle and for the deepest level of communication with the
roads.
Exclusively-designed urethane bump rubber absorbs and
softens the compression impact effectively, maintaining ride comfort when going
over gaps etc and preventing the damper from bottoming out.
Full-length ride height adjustment system, used for MONO
SPORT, enables adjustment of ride height by adjusting the case length, without
changing the damper stroke length and/or spring pre-load. This has the
advantage that the change in ride quality is kept minimal when the height is
adjusted. This system not only makes it
possible to maintain good balance between the low-down appearance and ride
comfort, but also provides more setting choices for sport driving as well.
For strut type suspensions, which require high lateral stiffness,
the world's first (*1) triple- tube-structured "Upright Strong Tube"
is newly adopted. It reduces friction with the use of revised internal
lubrication method. Damping force adjustment knob attached to the top of the
shock absorber allows easier access and makes the installation of EDFC motors
(optional) a breeze. Waterproofing process, which is a must for inverted types,
is reduced/simplified greatly. The most advanced technology, cultivated in
various rally events all over the world such as WRC and ERC, is now available
to everyone.
MONO SPORT comes with the well-established 16-level damping
force adjustment feature (compression & rebound together) and equipped with
exclusively-designed "ADVANCE M.S.V.". "ADVANCE M.S.V." is
a sub-valve system composed of a combination of 2 mechanisms; "ADVANCE
Needle" to increase the damping force adjustable range and "M.S.V.
(Micro Speed Valve)" to elimitate unwanted decline of damping force in
micro speed range. Both these components are redesigned exclusively for MONO
SPORT.
With the use of "ADVANCE M.S.V.", damping force
adjustable range is made about three times wider, yet superior damping force
characteristics are maintained in all parts to improve steering response, road
ability and traction performance.
With EDFC (image Below)(Electronic Damping Force Controller) series
installed, damping force can be controlled from the cockpit with ease. Stepping
motors attached in place of adjustment knobs control the damping force quickly
and accurately. Use of EDFC turns
16-level adjustment into finer 32-level or 64-level adjustment mode (64-level
only available with EDFC ACTIVE / EDFC ACTIVE PRO), to provide the optimum
performance by fully utilizing the damping force adjustable range drastically
widened by the use of "ADVANCE M.S.V. ". With EDFC ACTIVE / EDFC ACTIVE PRO, damping
force can be controlled automatically according to changes in G-force and/or
vehicle speed, to offer very smooth and slick ride like never before. (Some
models are NOT compatible with EDFC series.)
MONO SPORT kit includes upper mounts exclusively designed
for each vehicle model; either reinforced rubber mounts or pillow ball
mounts. Pillow ball upper mounts for
front strut suspensions have camber adjustment feature.
After many years of research and study, TEIN has developed
optimally-shaped dust boot made of most suitable material. Elastic &
highly-durable dust boot effectively prevents damages to the piston rod and
foreign substances from getting inside the shock absorber. Final assembly of shock absorbers is done in
the clean room, which is almost equivalent to operating room. Room pressure is
kept under control to shut out dust & dirt and all workers entering the
room must take air shower, to make sure all the assembly work is done in
completely clean air, in order to maintain higher level of accuracy and
reliability.
Upper mounts and lower brackets are coated with rich TEIN
green powder paint. This powder paint has high coating film strength, is highly
durable yet is low-pollution due to non-use of harmful solvent. After the shot
blasting pre-treatment, the patented "2-layer/1-bake" treatment using
anti-rust powder paint is applied for superior durability and high corrosion
resistance. On shell case, TEIN's
self-developed one-of-a-kind "ZT Coating" is applied, for tougher
protection against chipping, often caused by bounced pebbles, and rust. With
zero claim rate, against adhesion, out of 500,000dampers sold, we are confident
that people living in snowfall area or near seashores would even be very
satisfied.
For strut suspensions, sufficiently-thick ribbed plate is
used for knuckle bracket to maintain high rigidity. Flange shape edge of the
bracket provides larger contact area with the bracket lock, which is fastened
with the conical washer inserted in between, to effectively prevent loosening
of the bracket lock most commonly occurs on front strut suspensions. Brackets for brake hoses and ABS sensor
harnesses etc are exclusively designed for each vehicle model for hassle-free
installation. Shell case is made of high-strength
steel STKM13C and solidly-constructed for firm handling and stable ride.
MONO SPORT has adopted the new wrought aluminum spring seats
and low-friction hard-resin thrust washers. These effectively reduces the
friction with springs, caused during ride height adjustment, and makes it
easier to adjust the ride height with pre-load on the springs.
Shell cases are treated with "ZT Coating", a
superlow-friction fluorine resin coating, which is tightly baked onto the
surface in-house. This special coating provides superior protection against
rust and high lubricity, for keeping a smooth adjustment for a long period.
MONO SPORT kit includes one-of-a-kind user-friendly ride
height adjusting wrench. It has a 12.7mm (1/2in) sq. hole for attaching spinner
handle and/or torque wrench for tightening at high torque.
Included springs are made of high-tensile steel (tensile
strength 200kgf/mm2 or over) and cold formed for excellent resistance to
sagging and for superior quality stability. Surface is powder coated for superb protection against chipping &
peeling, for high durability and for superior anti-corrosion performance. High-quality spring can be used under various
conditions without any worry. The most
suitable shape of spring (straight or barrel-shaped) is determined for each
vehicle model, to provide wide ride height adjustable range and to secure
sufficient stroke without compromising ride comfort.
Specially-formulated high-spec oil exhibits stable viscosity
characteristics at any temperature; from low to high, to allow shock absorbers
to stroke smoothly and to generate damping force stably under various
conditions. The oil has superior anti-foaming characteristics hence the bubble
cavitation and/or thermal degradation hardly occurs, making it even suitable
for tough sport driving. The oil also does not deteriorate much with age,
making it possible to maintain and deliver superior performance for the long
term.
TEIN offers excellent after-sales service. Like
most TEIN shock absorbers, MONO SPORT can be overhauled to restore its original
performance. As TEIN shock absorbers can be fully disassembled, revalving
service is also available to change damping force settings to meet customer's
preference.
