*3. Adjustable range (However, the lowest value may not be road legal.
Even within the adjustable range, car body, arm etc. may contact. In such case, it will be hard to drive.
Damper oil leakage or any other problems caused by low ride height setting from the factory setting will void the warranty of the product.)
*4. Drivable range that there is no contact of car body or arms etc. (However, change of tire/wheel size may cause a problem.)
Caution). Actual data depends on each vehicle.

Parts List
Point
The product is set up with the matching approach to characteristics of CR-Z. By making suspension suppler, it tracks better with the road surface, which reduces unnecessary movement and improves the ride comfort on the street.
In sports driving, the car’s movement can be easily felt by actively shifting the load, and the control can be safely enjoyed by suppressing abrupt movements at the limit range. It is also recommended for beginners to practice sports driving.
Since CR-Z is a highly sporty compact car, we focused on rear stability and have set the rear coilover to a slight understeer setting. If you want to drive actively to oversteer, please tighten the rear damping force adjustment.
The use of ID65 straight springs in the rear allows for a wider range of settings, such as rate changes.
New internal components allow for a wide range of settings with a large amount of damping force adjustment.
Due to the installation of spring insulators in the front and rear, it is easy to adjust the vehicle height.
High durability of 3-year/60,000 km coverage has been achieved by reviewing internal components.
