TEIN - MONO Racing Damper - Honda Civic Type-R (FK8)

MONO RACING is developed to satisfy the drivers who frequently take their cars for a spin at the race tracks. Based on the settings of the high-end model SUPER RACING and on a wealth of data gained through participation in various motorsports, spring rates and damping force for MONO RACING are determined to be most suitable for sports driving.

Mono tube structure of MONO RACING 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 RACING offers capability for the most delicate control of the vehicle and for the deepest level of communication with the roads.

For strut type suspensions, which require high lateral stiffness, highly-rigid "Upright Strong Tube" structure, the fruit of participation in professional motorsports worldwide such as WRC & WRX, is adopted. Damping force adjustment knob attached to the top of the shock absorber allows easier access, making the repeaded adjustment within the limited time less hassle, and makes the installation of EDFC motors (optional) a breeze. Waterproofing process, which is a must for inverted types, is reduced/simplified greatly.

Use of specially-designed urethane bump rubbers effectively reduces the bump impact, to maintain the comfortable ride even when going over bumps/gaps and to protect dampers from bottoming out. (The image shown is for wishbone / multi-link types. Some models use OE bump rubbers.)



Selectable Spring Rate +/- 2kgf/mm from standard spring set.

This system is a 1-way adjustable damper with 14kgf/mm front and 12kgf/mm rear springs.
