Description

(Special Order)

Utilizing the latest technology, we have succeeded in achieving a higher spring rate, while keeping everyday use in mind, and have been able to improve driving performance.

The structural weaknesses of the rear have been resolved with new dedicated parts, allowing for a wide range of vehicle height adjustment and the use of longer springs. Compared to the MAX IV SP, the shape has evolved to make vehicle height adjustment easier, as it does not require removing and installing the springs to adjust the rear height.

The adoption of a new dedicated rear part, the helper spring, ensures sufficient extension stroke, and is designed to increase grip of the inside rear tire on the circuit.
