Details:

High-Performance Damper Oil

Exhibiting a stable viscosity in a broad temperature range, the high-performance damper oil sustains smooth strokes and a reliable damping force under all kinds of circumstances. It has excellent anti-foaming properties that protect it from cavitation (bubble-forming), and is resistant to overheating, so that it works noiselessly even on rough roads. The damper oil keeps up its superior performance long-term, because it is also resistant to deterioration over time.

Rustproof Surface Treatment

The shell case's black powder paint coating excels in strength and durability, while our coating technique is eco-friendly and without organic solvents.

After pre-treatment, TEIN's patented 2-Layer, 1-Bake powder coating method with corrosion-proofing paint is used for superior durability and rust protection.

Outstandingly corrosion-resistant, EnduraPro Basic can safely be used in regions with heavy snowfall or coastal areas, etc.

Hydraulic Bump Stopper (H.B.S.)

More comfort and higher durability
at maximum passenger and cargo load.

When regular shock absorbers fully stroke, their bump rubbers are compressed. The energy that is generated by that escapes as a repulsive force, which can disturb the vehicle's behavior. Furthermore, repeated full strokes can damage the damper.

In the same situation EnduraPro Basic, featuring H.B.S., internally convert the impact of the stroke to thermal energy (heat) and absorb it, strongly reducing the impact that disturbs the vehicle's behavior. With less damage to the dampers, H.B.S. also contributes to their durability.

Driving over a bump, the vehicle jolts and bounces. It takes a while to regain control.

The vehicle smoothly processes the impact, does not bounce, and its behavior swiftly stabilizes.

The Hydraulic Bump Stopper (H.B.S.) Mechanism

In shock absorbers with inactive or no H.B.S., the operative valve (green) floats, and oil flows freely through the base valve ports. Resistance to the flow from the shim stack then, causes damping force.

Near full compression, when the piston rod strokes beyond a predetermined point, the operative valve is pushed down and activates H.B.S.: the base valve ports are narrowed, blocking the oil flow. This results in high damping force.

A relief valve serves to suppress sudden damping force increase, when the pressure in the cylinder exceeds its regular level.

The setup of the H.B.S. mechanism is optimized per vehicle model, with the right activation point and damping force.

To avoid damages/breakages, conventional bump rubbers must also be fitted/used with H.B.S.-equipped dampers.

*NOT available on some models.

Twin-Tube System

Roads may have all sorts of surface conditions. This calls for shock absorbers with ample stroke, that operate smoothly.

Thanks to this unique characteristic, you can negotiate gaps and bumps steadily on rough roads, meaning a smooth ride at low speed and stability at high speed.

Sold per Pair (Set of 2)

Because EnduraPro Basic can be purchased per pair (left & right set), you can limit the cost for replacing worn or damaged dampers.

*Use of EnduraPro Basic mixed with OE or other brands' shock absorbers is not recommended.
Please replace all 4 shock absorbers with EnduraPro Basic, when replacing for the very first time.
