-GC8 Impreza DSS12-W1LS2

Type HG is designed for rally and / or dirt trail racing. It meets the demands of any road surface with its individual compression / rebound damping force adjustment, and ride height adjustment. Utilizes a twin-tube design, and is constructed with steel for additional durability on rough courses. In order to prevent aeration that can diminish performance, a unique free piston was adapted in the construction of the HG. Developed from TEIN's extensive experience gained in Rally competitions and support.

Damper includes 16 x 16 - way damping force adjustment for both front and rear coilovers, which allows each damper to be set to a possible 256 different adjustment combinations. Compression and rebound are adjusted separately for increased tuning capability. Adjustments are made externally via a Click Assemblies, and made internally via a needle valve which allows or restricts oil flow. Damping force can be changed to tune ride feel (comfort/ performance level), and/or used to adjust handling characteristics (neutral, over-steer, under-steer, etc).

Vehicle ride height adjustable via a threaded shock body and adjustable spring seat. The threaded sleeve is welded to the actual shock body and then Zinc coated for added protection. TEIN engineers have performed vigorous testing to ensure the best possible position and range of the spring seat to ensure the most adjustability. Aluminum spring seats are utilized to reduce ceasing of spring seat to threaded body, and for improved durability.

A Twin Tube internal design is utilized for increased piston stroke for improved handling and comfort during street use. Another major feature of the Twin Tube design is that is more durable in the case of damage to the actual damper body.

External Reservoir Tank allows for increased oil capacity and increased heat dissipation, which allows the damping force to remain more consistent during long term use. Most effective in racing applications where the vehicle is run for extended time periods. Only available on SA type dampers in which compression and rebound are separately adjustable.
