Sustec
Pro SEVEN is an all new adjustable coilover suspension that
features a wide array of all new circuit developed technology
that has not been available until now.
SEVEN advances the technologies and greatest
strengths of previous high performance Tanabe suspensions
like the RR & DD even further. While similar in appearance,
the SEVEN is completely different from any suspension currently
available. The difference lies within the suspension itself
and its highly unique internal construction and slide valve
technology.
The new slide valve technology allows a great
range of adjustability and function from both sides of the
performance spectrum. (comfort to pure competitive motorsports
use)
When used with the new TEAS electronic active
suspension controller, the wide range of dampening force is
accessible through the touch of a button, and is fully programmable
to automatically adjust dampening rates according to the speed
you drive.
In addition to TEAS, SEVEN is also available
as a special "Hard Driving" version, for strictly
motorsports use. (see below)

The
Slide Valve of the SUSTEC PRO SEVEN allows a massive range of
Actual Dampening Force, meaning each dampener setting greatly
changes the personality and handling of the vehicle.
Competitor dampeners have a much smaller range of actual dampening
force due to limitations of their internal valving design, resulting
in unnecessarily large amount of settings within a tiny actual
dampening range-- the settings may in reality have little impact
on the actual handling dynamics of the vehicle. This results
in many suspension kits that are severely limited to one type
of driving or motorsport.
Each of SUSTEC PRO SEVEN’S dampener
settings have impact and purpose, they are designed purely
for function to conquer all types of driving. SEVEN lets the
automotive enthusiast enjoy every form of driving sports.

The
revolutionary Sustec Pro SEVEN features a wide range of actual
dampening force. The all new internal slide valve allows SEVEN
to be used for comfort, or pure competition useage.
This shock dynograph tested the actual dampening force of the
Sustec Pro SEVEN versus "F Type" 16 setting dampener
of a competitor, both applications were for the DC5 chassis.
Although
both dampeners feature the same amount (16) dampener settings,
the actual speeds and force of compression and rebound greatly
vary.
Sustec
Pro SEVEN has the true dampening function that proves that
the number of dampener settings (8,16,32,64, etc) does not
always equal actual performance.

Competition
Spec PRO210 Race Spring A
higher spring rate for motorsports application. Excellent
handling, and most importantly, controllable traction is immediately
noticeable through the use of the race developed spring. PRO210
was developed for extreme durability and balance. This spring
has the highest tensile strength available due to our unique
manufacturing process. |
|
Case
Length & Preload Adjustment, Dampening Adjustable
Both case length, and preload are adjustable.
Preload can be adjusted for special settings, while full suspension
stroke can be retained or altered with the case length settings.
An extreme range of height settings are available with this
suspension to suit any driver's needs or preferences for height
and weight distribution. Dampening may be changed in 12 or
16(with TEAS) settings across a wide range of actual dampening
force.

Ultra
Heavy Duty Construction
The front suspension of a race vehicle experiences
the most abuse, therefore a special dual plate stamped steel
bracket is used. This bracket is extremely rugged and resists
damage where most suspensions fall short. The rear suspension
features a high tensile CNC forged aluminum knuckle that is
both lightweight and rigid. The ruggedness of the bracketry
on this suspension exceeds even OEM vehicle standards.

|
Reinforced
Shock Piston, Reinforced Valving
The oversized Shock Piston is fully reinforced
to resist flexing or snapping. The internal valving of the
SEVEN is also fully reinforced for the increased and rapidly
changing loads experienced during drifting. The internals
resist oil and gas 'foaming' and overheating of the internal
components which can detract from performance when driving
under extreme conditions for extended amounts of time.
|
|
Durable
Spring Seat & Lock Nut Constructed
of forged aluminum, longetivity and superior strength is ensured.
Additionally, the threaded portion of the casing is chemically
treated to resist rust and corrosion. |
|
Upper
Mounts Included Solid
mounting pillowball or rubber uppermounts are included on
the front and rear of the Sustec Pro SEVEN. These uppermounts
also have the added benefit of having front adjustable camber
plates for fixing or modifying camber settings beyond factory
limitations. Solid pillowball upper mounts prevent suspension
geometry changes under various suspension loads. |

Compatible
with TEAS (Tanabe Electric Active Suspension)
By
itself, SEVEN is an extremely solid multi-purpose suspension.
With the new TEAS (Tanabe Electric Active Suspension) controller,
SEVEN reaches new levels of suspension tuning. Sustec Pro
SEVEN is 100% compatible with the TEAS controller and its
actuators. |
