Aluminium Adjustable Track Day / Race Dampers

As fitted to Alfaholics GTA-R fast road & trackday cars and full race builds. Unique valving specifically suited for 105 series cars, developed with rigorous bench dyno testing, thousands of fast road & track development miles on GTA-Rs with final sign off done with track testing at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Our extensive experience at the Ring with our GTA-Rs has resulted in the ultimate development programme for our dampers.

These dampers are valved to offer excellent low speed bump damping to ensure the right support to the bodyshell at turn in, whilst having compliant high speed damping to ensure excellent ride quility on the road and on kerbs on race tracks. Adjustable with a single knob (adjusts both bump and rebund together) to fine tune the stiffness to your personal application/ride preference. Whatever the use of your car (road/track day/racing), these Alfaholics adjustable dampers can be adjusted to the perfect setting for your application.

They feature specially machined fittings, enabling standard fitment for both the front and the rear of the car, with the added benefit of the front using a spherical bearing for its lower mount giving extra accuracy and durability. The rear has been designed to allow the spring to be damper mounted with threaded platforms to enable accurate corner-weighing for race cars. Alternatively the original chassis spring seating can be used if coil over is not permitted in your race series.
The adjuster knob is a CNC machined billet aluminium item with positive ‘clicks’ offering excellent ease and accuracy of adjustment. We have designed these adjusters to be mounted at the base of the dampers, as top mounted adjusters are extremely difficult to reach on these cars.

Testing at the Nurburgring proved that the new dampers radically improve turn in and composure during fast direction changes. The car remained far more settled over kerbs providing greater confidence on the limit and therefore higher cornering speeds. A wet and very greasy morning session showed that being able to soften the rear dampers below typical damper settings, vastly improved turn in and mid corner speed and made the car far easier to drive on the limit. Speeds that previously with Bilsteins would have led to an accident were shrugged off corner after corner with ease! The other key objective we were looking to achieve was an improved ride quality on the road, with the dampers set in the softer positions.

In their stiffest positions they give a range of settings perfect for slick shod race cars with adjustment allowing for a differing stiff spring rates, circuit types and driver preferences. As the shocks are adjusted softer they give adjustment to suit settings for semi slicks, lightweight GTA race settings, historic tyres settings, wet weather settings down to the softest settings which provide beautifully compliant ride for track day cars on the road. These Alfaholics shock absorbers represent the ultimate damper solution for all track day, rally or full race 105s!
