Specialized Damper Program

Although this isn’t the latest offering from TEIN, it is a fairly new program now offered by TEIN USA.

The Specialized Damper Program allows customers to design a one-off kit built to their specifications. Click HERE to link to TEIN Japan’s Specialized Damper Program page.

With a wide variety of options available for the customer to choose from, we are able to create a kit unique to each customer’s request. Options include, but are not limited to

  • Twin-Tube or Monotube construction.
  • Pillowball Upper Mounts(Optional camber adjustment on MacPherson Strut-type), if applicable.
  • Custom Coil Spring for non-height adjust kits.
  • Use of new steel components or reuse of OE steel components( OE spindles may be required if integral to the OE strut)

and many other options.

OE suspension design may be the only limiting factor( we base the design strictly off of the stock mounting points). So this may exclude the use of a coil-over type dampers, pillowball upper mounts, custom leaf or torsion spring, etc.

Lead time to have such dampers made may vary, depending on the options, complexity, as well as the manufacturing schedules of TEIN Japan (all suspension components are manufactured and assembled in our Yokohama plant).  Expect an ETA of 3-4 months from start to completion of manufacturing (excludes shipping ETA).

Here are a few examples of damper kits requested by a few customers.
