Performance Dampers

Shock Absorption and Noise Reduction

Enables high quality ride comfort by reducing the impact from bumps in the road and making the vehicle interior quieter.

Performance Dampers absorb excess vibration from the chassis

Performance Dampers absorb excess vibration from the chassis

  • Less shock from bumps
  • Quieter vehicle cabin (reduces driving noise)

Enables a high quality ride

Test Method

We drove a 4-door sedan on expressways to verify the difference in ride quality with and without Performance Dampers.

Seat surface vibration

Seat surface vibration

We attached sensors to seat surfaces to measure the vibration of seat surfaces.

Sound pressure around ears

Sound pressure around ears

We measured sound pressure around ears when riding over bumps comparable to gaps of bridge joint.

Test Results

Seat surface vibration

We found vibration of seat surfaces was approximately 40% less with Performance Dampers than without them. This can be expected to improve ride comfort, because it reduces uncomfortable vibration of seat surfaces.

Sound pressure around ears

We found that sound pressure was reduced by 8% when the front passed and 30% when the rear passed. Performance Dampers make the interior of vehicles quieter, which can contribute to improving the quality of the interior space.
