The latest development using the most technologically
advanced shock absorber designs.
Testing began in 1995 and the 60mm Super Strut
made its debut in the World Rally Championship Rally of Portugal
with Uchiyama Motor Sport's Team Impreza. Fitted to a Group A Subaru
Impreza this private team car driven by Masao Kamioka finished 5th
overall. With the Mitsubishi Lancer Reece Jones and Ralliart New
Zealand won the 1996 NZ Championship on DMS 60mm Super Strut shock
absorbers.
Our 60mm Super Strut was used in the United
States for the first time in October 1997 in the Prescott Forest
Rally, round 8 of the SCCA Michelin PRO Rally Championship. Result
for this production Subaru Impreza driven by Hiroyuki Genta being
a remarkable 2nd position overall in this US Championship Rally.
"This 60mm shockabsorber gave me a huge advantage, we were able
to go very fast over the rough stages and the car flew and landed
without drama at high speed."
Michael Guest was successful on DMS 60mm Adjustable
Shock Absorbers winning in Rally New Zealand, Rally Australia, and
Asia-Pacific Championships - Group N, 1998. In 1999 Michael Giest
is competing internationally for the Winfield World Rally Team in
Group N of the W.R.C.
DMS 60mm Adjustable shock absorbers have the
largest piston used in the world for an automobile shock absorber.
This allows the most accurate tuning and piston control available.
The larger the piston the higher the control
levels due to the larger displacement and pressure areas. Also the
larger the piston area the lower the internal operating pressures
and temperatures. This provides higher damping capabilities necessary
for the most severe conditions in the World Rally Championship.
This adjustable shock absorber has over 250%
improved piston control compared to conventional shock absorbers
and 47% improvement over the 50mm Giant shock absorber and shock
absorbers used by our nearest rival manufacturers.
This adjustable shock absorber also incorporates
a hydraulic bump stop which allows for the best ride and traction
over the very roughest roads, yet protecting against tyre and chassis
damage from unseen holes, rocks and dips.
The top bush oiling system in this 60mm Adjustable
Super Strut as well as extending the life of the bushes assists
in cooling the shock absorber.
