How are you all doing today, when the state of emergency has begun to be lifted gradually?We are finally getting used to working remotely at our stay home.This time, we will deliver "new product information" for the first time in a long time.

The previous[Progress information from development]Although the space is longer, we have started shipping the height-adjustable suspension kit for the CX-30.The car is available in various grades such as engine and drive system, but it can be installed on all cars.

[Street Sports Suspension Kit for CX-30]
・ Compatible model: All DM series
-Part number: MDM7850
・ Price without tax: ¥ 158,000
・ Spring constant F: 34.3N / mm R: 49.0N / mm

The key to the ride is the damping ratio of the damper.The damping ratio is the balance between the damping force of the damper and the spring constant, that is, how the damper works on the spring.The spring has the characteristic that once it starts to vibrate, it will continue to vibrate forever, so the car will not be able to ride with the spring alone.Therefore, the damping force of the damper is applied to converge the vibration.It can be said that the vibration is converged.

There is a recipe unique to AutoExe for the damping ratio, and whether it is an SUV or a two-seater sports car, we will make a prototype by desktop calculation based on the same damping ratio.Then, it is attached to the actual vehicle and boiled down by the driver's sensitivity evaluation to determine the specifications. With the CX-30, I was worried about the feeling of pushing up on the front side in the attenuation ratio calculated on the desk, so I settled down when I lowered the attenuation ratio a little.There are some car models that are decided exactly on the desk, but when you evaluate the sensibility of the actual car, you may get greedy and make a detour.That is also an interesting part that is not straightforward in suspension development.

[Street Sports Suspension Kit]Is the best part to experience the sensitivity tuning we are aiming for.Please enjoy the depth of the ride.
