Default TEIN electronic adjustable dampers.

I saw it at the SEMA show in Vegas. Thats crazy! You can adjust the dampers from inside the cockpit with an electronic controler. It can safe some settings like race, street, Drag.......16way adjustable on all 4 dampers. I talked to the tch guy at TEIN and he told me it is a prototype now. 4 little electric motors are mounted on the top of the damper and are wired to the controler in the cockpit.





THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats nothing new. and i don't see why anyone needs that for daily driving. waste of money but plenty of oooh-ahh factor involved. Koni has a similar one that I've seen drag racers use in muscle cars to adjust dampening during launch and then after the launch.

Cost shouldn't be a problem. When I chatted with the Tein reps, they were saying that they think the price will be around the cost of VTEC controller.


And actually it's going to be a 32 way adjustable unit with 3 memory settings.

what i was hoping to know was how it is hooked up to the coilovers... wired, remote control... telekenesis?

is it some kind of servo assist that turns the dials on top, or...?

Look at the 2nd pic posted..
They're mounted on top.
I'd assume you'd only have to run wires to each strut tower..
