Description
Being a bespoke suspension specialist and not just your typical coilover kit company (i.e a trading company that buys mass-manufactured kits in bulk from Taiwan/China/Korea/Japan at a low cost), at YCW Suspension, we focus primarily on what makes-or-breaks a performance suspension system; the dampers. Or more specifically, not only the valving technology that goes inside them, but also the valving calculations necessary to meet the customers requirements.
Each and every damper that we spec for a customer is custom-valved and tuned specifically for that customer and his/her requirements; these are not just simply your typical coilover kit sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Infact, we don’t have a single coilover kit sitting on our shelves collecting dust. Our huge inventory consists solely of the individual components that make up the coilover kit.
Recognising grassroots racers and their thirst for DIY, we also make available on our website each and every individual component for those who wish to service their own dampers; unlike our competition, this is something we actively encourage. Our aim with the YCW Suspension website is to offer a full knowledge base for grassroots racers to calculate, build and tune their own dampers to meet their requirements.
With the correct, high-quality components and our specialist tools, no longer is damper building/tuning a “Black Art” reserved for big-budget race teams; basic garage tools and a day getting your hands oily is sufficient enough to build a set of dampers that will outperform all the Taiwanese/Chinese/Korean/Japanese coilover kits currently plaguing the market. Infact, with a little bit of future investment (such as our Bleed Station) and practise, your dampers can outperform the majority of the “big brand” European/US kits as well, and you will never again have to pay another company hundreds of dollars to rebuild your dampers for you when servicing time comes.
Of course, not everyone wants to get their hands oily, nor have the technical inclination to do so, which is why we also offer fully assembled kits.

Mounts & Perches
Front Upper Mounts
- Vulcanized Rubber – High Durometer Rubber Bushings (minimal NVH. Non-Camber Adjustable). For fitments that utilise oem and/or eyelet mounts
- Spherical (Cushioned) – Teflon-Lined Spherical Bearings (Front Camber Adjustable on MacPherson Struts) with cushioned sleeves to reduce NVH. Non-applicable to oem and/or eyelet mounts
- Includes our Bolt Isolators to reduce NVH. These can be removed if not required
- Steel Thrust Bearing to decrease coil friction/clunking. Non-applicable to oem and/or eyelet mounts
Rear Upper Mounts
- The same type of bushing for the Front Upper Mount will be used (where applicable). Non-applicable to oem and/or eyelet mounts
- Includes our Bolt Isolators to reduce NVH (where applicable). These can be removed if not required
- Steel Thrust Bearing (where applicable) to decrease coil friction/clunking. Non-applicable to oem and/or eyelet mounts
Spring Perches (Upper & Lower)
- Teflon Thrust Sheets – These allow the spring to rotate freely from the damper, minimising coil friction/clunking
Servicing
At YCW Suspension, we recommend (but not mandatory) the following servicing schedule for all of our Racing Dampers to ensure they always perform at optimum and as intended:
- Street Use/Limited Track – Approx. 20,000km

All YCW Suspension Racing Dampers are fully serviceable, with Service Parts always in stock and available for purchase either online or from one of our service facilities. With basic garage tools and a couple of specialist tools (also available for purchase), servicing your dampers can easily be done within an afternoon.
