SAMSONAS – Subaru Impreza GR/GV (N14) 3-way

Description

Samsonas Motorsport 3-Way – Subaru Impreza N14

Samsonas 3-way shock absorbers are high-performance dampers engineered to meet the highest demands of professional motorsport. Designed specifically for the N14 generation Subaru Impreza, this kit guarantees uncompromising vehicle body control, maximizing mechanical grip and the efficiency of the permanent AWD system across all surface types.

Reservoir Architecture and Configuration

The structural layout of this kit has been fully optimized around the chassis geometry and clearance constraints of the N14 body, offering versatile options for the reservoirs layout:

Front Axle: Complete freedom of configuration depending on the engine bay layout and team preference. Two variants are available:

• • Piggyback Reservoir: Rigidly integrated with the damper body, simplifying the architecture and installation.

  • Remote Reservoir (on a flexible hose): Allowing the reservoir to be routed to an optimal location under the bonnet.

Rear axle: Due to the distinct packaging constraints of the multi-link rear suspension and limited clearance, the dampers for this axle are supplied exclusively in a compact configuration featuring a Piggyback reservoir (rigidly mounted to the body).

R4 Kit Compatibility

In addition to the standard specification engineered for the factory mounting points, these shock absorbers are also available in custom lengths tailored for the competition-spec R4 kit.This configuration interfaces seamlessly with custom, lightweight subframes and suspension arms, allowing for a radical increase in suspension travel and delivering unrivaled stability on the most punishing, technical stages.

Full 3-way Adjustment

The system allows for individual tuning of the rebound force as well as compression damping across two separate velocity ranges (High/Low Speed Compression). This enables a flawless chassis setup, balancing high-speed bump stability with crisp steering responses:

• High-Speed Compression: Controls the response to rapid impacts, such as bumps, rocks, or track curbs.

• Low-Speed Compression: Manages vehicle body balance during braking and corner entry, reducing nose-diving and body roll.

• Rebound: Regulates the speed at which the wheel extends, instantly stabilizing the car after clearing bumps or landing from jumps.

Available Specifications

• Gravel Spec: Optimized travel and progressive valving, engineered for stable jump landings and maximum traction on loose track surfaces.

• Tarmac Spec: Minimized body roll and maximum handling precision on circuits and smooth tarmac surfaces.

The kit includes:

• 2 front shock absorbers with springs and top mounts

• 2 rear shock absorbers with springs and top mounts
• C-spanners for ride height adjustment

Looking for a simpler setup? For competitors seeking ease of use or building a car for regional/club rallies, a more affordable Samsonas 1-wayversion is also available, providing the same heavy-duty mechanical construction with single-way damping adjustment.
