What is the Touring Sports Damper Coilover System?

A coilover, or a coil-over shock absorber, is an integral part of most car’s suspension that largely helps with the control and ride comfort of the car. The Touring Sports Damper Coilover System is Revel’s suspension line that combines sportier handling with a more comfortable ride. Upgrading your car’s suspension with the Revel Touring Sports Damper will give your car more adjustability in multiple points to hone in that perfect balance to provide smooth yet performance oriented handling characteristics. Down below in this article, it will mention the features of the Touring Sports Damper as well as the benefits of adding this to improve your car’s performance and ride.

What comes with most Touring Sports Damper Coilover Systems?

The Touring Sport Damper features 32-way dampening, which gives the ability to choose whether a firmer or softer ride suits your preferences. The coilover system also features adjustable ride height, which gives the option for the car to go lower than factory specifications, improving the handling of the car. With these two adjustability points, there is no limit to the individual preference for the perfect ride for each driver with their car. Further adjustability can be achieved with the Touring Sport Damper’s pillowball upper mount, which (on some applications) is able to adjust camber degree for the car. Pillowball upper mounts also increase the driving feedback with the car compared to the factory specifications.

Another feature of the Touring Sport Samper is the included radial bearings with some applications. The radial bearings keep the coilover assembly from moving with the spring, further improving handling and eliminating noises that are common in many other aftermarket coilover systems. Of course, performance is not everything with the Touring Sports Damper, but it is also built to last. It also includes a Neoprene coilover cover which protects the most important part of the coilover system from the outside elements and prevents corrosion and damage.

Benefits of the Touring Sports Damper

Generally speaking, a car’s handling can be improved by lowering the center of gravity. One of the most popular methods to do this is with adjustable coilover systems. The Touring Sports Damper offers this feature to help the car sit lower to unlock its handling potential. More adjustment points such as the damping adjust can dial in the perfect comfort level and potentially increase traction with more control through corners. The pillowball upper mounts are able to adjust the front wheel camber to a certain degree to improve traction and handling through the corners.
