In conjuction with TEIN, Evasive Motorsports is proud to present the Evasive SPEC TEIN Series for track enthusiasts. TEIN has customized these parts with specifications by Evasive Motorsports. These specifications are the result of continuous testing by Evasive Motorsports on the race track. The final products presented here are optimized for road racing. We only work with the best to bring you the best!
The Evasive SPEC version of the TEIN SR-C includes both smaller base valve and corresponding smaller diameter shims. All other aspects of the damper remain the same as an off the shelf SR-C kit. Why was this set-up created?
In both base valves (normal and small) there is a bypass. This bypass controls oil flow at low speed damping. (Slow Speed Damping is most related to initial steering response). The bypass valve is smaller on the TEIN Evasive SPEC SR-C, increasing the ability to control the oil flow, and the damping force is greater at slow piston speed than a normal base valve spec coilover. This results in improved initial steering response, which can easily be felt on turn-in.
The smaller shims allow for quicker damping force (DF) response with its reduced diameter. The faster DF response means quicker steering response, quicker transition from compression to rebound and vice versa… allowing the damper to react more quickly to any type of movement.
Smaller shims also have a greater range of motion in terms of bending. This allows for more oil control at low speed damping. The larger shims have more of an on/off type movement at low speed damping.
Although the price is higher than the regular SR-C, there’s been extensive time and work from both TEIN and Evasive to develop these. If you’re serious about the track, you will definitely not be dissappointed.
