"Race technology for the road with adjustable compression and rebound damping"
State-of-the-art motorsport technology for proven performance on the streets. The independently adjustable compression and rebound damping allows for custom driving set-ups. The exclusive KW patented system has dual-level valves to provide the adjustment of the rebound damping (comfort) and the compression damping (driving dynamics) in the low-speed range. High-speed settings for driving comfort are preset by KW engineers.
Based on vehicle specifications, the rebound damping is adjusted by a spindle at the end of the piston rod. Mainly, the traction phase (rebound) controls car body vibrations and influences handling and comfort in the low-speed damping range. By using the traction phase adjustment, the vehicle can be fine tuned to the requirements of the driver. Moreover, driving behavior can be regulated from comfortably rolling to sporty and tense with improved road holding characteristics.
The compression phase adjustment is carried out at the lower end of the shock absorber via KW's patented multi-purpose valve. The large number of pre-set parameters on this valve allow for a wide range of adjustment for individual use. The unique low-speed compression adjustment distinguishes this technology from any other. In this compression range, the driving behavior of the vehicle is drastically influenced. An increase of the damping power supports the vehicle already during compression and therefore avoids rolling and pitching. The directional stability is significantly improved.

What were their favorite memories and their thoughts on the first years of the STR SCCA class? Don't miss these highlights and the final few minutes of the video when the MX-5 is stripped of its unique graphics!
Tire Rack and Grassroots Motorsports Magazine teamed up to build a competitive car for SCCA STR Class autocross competition. 2010 was its inaugural season and it was a good one! Watch as we go from our first race to the "Big Dance" at the national championships in this video recap of the year.
Our team traveled to Peru, IN for the 2010 Great Lakes Divisional Championship event. This site is the best simulation of the Solo Nationals course surface we can find east of the Mississippi.
The battle was tight all weekend and if the competition at the Tire Rack SCCA Pro Solo Finale and Solo National Championship in Lincoln, NE is this tight, it's going to be a heck of a battle to see what driver/car/tire combination comes out on top.
Here's a look at how Tire Rack driver John Rogers posted the fastest STR Class time of the day on Sunday at the 2010 Tire Rack SCCA Great Lakes Divisional Championship.
