Performance Dampers

Principle of Performance Dampers

The Performance Damper adds a damping element to the chassis, which absorbs distortion energy and dissipates it as heat energy.

The chassis of a passenger vehicle is often slightly distorted by 1 mm or less while driving. A metal body has elastic characteristics and functions poorly to dampen such distortion, so external distortion energy is almost entirely accumulated and released, repeating distortion at a specific frequency.
The Performance Damper adds a damping element to the chassis, which absorbs distortion energy and dissipates it as heat energy. This dampens excessive distortion speed of the chassis, which not only makes for a more comfortable drive, but also enables better handling and stability even when driving at high speed, which typically causes greater chassis distortion.

A car chassis is a collection of spring elements, so a car chassis in motion is constantly being distorted and vibrated.

Principle of Performance Dampers

Performance Dampers add a damping element between two points of the main structure of the chassis, which absorbs distortion and vibrations of chassis.

Principle of Performance Dampers
One each in front and back (suspension mounting part, side member, near front and rear bumpers, etc.), total of 2 equipped
Principle of Performance Dampers
Distortion and vibration energy of the chassis is converted into thermal energy.
