Why choose the Street R1?

The Street R1 is designed for the enthusiast who wants a genuine coilover kit without giving up everyday comfort. Separating ride height from damping lets you lower the body to your preference without unnecessarily stiffening the ride. For first track days, the R1 provides a solid base with its separate oil reservoir and 33 damping positions.

For further upgrades, the range extends to the Street R2 (2-way independent) for those who want to fine-tune compression and rebound separately, and the Street R3 (3-way) for motorsport-level control. The Track R2 and R3 versions are reserved for exclusive track use with an inverted monotube design.
