Do you have a set of Tanabe Sustec Pro Five or the Older Pro Seven Coilovers on your car? Tanabe brings you the ability to adjust your suspension dampening on the fly… and even automatically!
TEAS Concept
FOR ANY ROAD, BE IT A CIRCUIT, CITY STREET, OR WINDING ROAD, THERE IS USUALLY NEVER ONE SINGLE PERFECT SUSPENSION SETTING THROUGHOUT THE COURSE. The perfect damper setting for high-speed cornering may be unfavorable for low- speed hairpins. TEAS allows the driver to program our coilovers to deliver best of both worlds — perfect high- speed stability and maximum hairpin agility — automatically.
TEAS stands for “Tanabe Electric Active Suspension” and is the counterpart of the Sustec Pro FIVE & Sustec Pro SEVEN suspensions. This compact unit is the ‘brain’ behind the highly sophisticated new Tanabe suspensions. TEAS is a fully programmable dampener controller that allows for dampening force to be automatically adjusted while driving. TEAS accomplishes this by connecting and using the signal from the vehicle’s Speed Sensor.
TEAS active dampening control is uniquely possible due to the use of the specialized valving of the FIVE & SEVEN, in conjunction with TEAS’ slim, high speed actuators. These actuators change dampener settings in 1/100ths of a second, which is necessary as TEAS can continuously change settings at different speeds.
Here’s an example of the TEAS unit being installed into a dash. *This is a custom installation
The TEAS unit is a great way to further improve the performance and adjustability of your Pro Five/Seven Coilover system. For more information, click here!Call your local dealer for pricing today!
