REIGER – Subaru Impreza GD (N8-N12) 3-way – 570

Description

Subaru Impreza GD (N8 – N12)

The GD-generation Subaru Impreza (models N8 through N12) serves as an exceptionally rigid and proven rally platform. However, to unlock the full potential of the AWD system, counteract inherent understeer, and effectively manage the weight of this chassis on demanding special stages, a solution from the absolute pinnacle of motorsport is required. The Reiger 3-way kit based on the flagship model 570 on both axles is an uncompromising damping system that brings suspension architecture derived from factory-built Rally2 cars straight to Group N.

Reiger Suspension 3-Way – 570

The model 570 was engineered to operate under the most extreme loads, where conventional dampers fade and lose performance. The kit has been fully designed and dimensioned around the factory mounting points and geometry of the GD chassis (supporting the entire evolution of production models from N8, through N10, up to N12). Due to its increased oil volume and advanced internal design, the model 570 is completely immune to damper fade. The suspension generates identical damping forces on the first and the twentieth kilometer of a stage, regardless of the surface conditions or ambient temperature.

Independent adjustments for rebound as well as high-speed and low-speed compression give engineers and drivers complete freedom to fine-tune vehicle balance and steering responses, adapting the chassis perfectly to the characteristics of the chosen surface.

• High Speed Compression (HSC): Regulates compression during rapid piston movements, managing how the damper responds to sudden impacts triggered by surface roughness.
• Low Speed Compression (LSC): Controls compression at low piston velocities, managing body control, braking balance, weight transfer, and steering input responses.
• Rebound: A single, precise adjustment controlling the extension speed of the strut, critical for maintaining constant tire contact with the ground after clearing a bump.

The specification based on the model 570 allows for the simultaneous integration of all key systems that have made the Reiger brand a legend on WRC and Rally2 stages:

• RCV (Rebound Control Valve): An intelligent rebound management system. This technology drastically improves the traction of Subaru's permanent AWD system. RCV instantly reacts to a wheel losing contact with the ground, "gluing" the tire to the surface over curbs, cuts, or loose gravel, allowing for significantly earlier throttle application on corner exits.

• HDP (Hydraulic Double Piston): An advanced, hydraulic double piston. It acts as a progressive hydraulic cushion that drastically increases damping force in the final phase of the stroke. This guarantees maximum protection for the chassis and absolute vehicle stability during the heaviest rally landings and deep compression loads.

• DP (Double Piston): A progressive system that prevents sudden mechanical bottoming out of the suspension under dynamic impacts.

Available Specifications

• Gravel Spec: Focused on maximum travel and stability on loose surfaces.

• Tarmac Spec: Focused on handling precision on high-speed tarmac stages.

Alternative Configurations

Our lineup also features a more cost-effective alternative kit built around the model 5062.

The base kit includes:

• Model 570 dampers for the front and rear axles, complete with springs and top mounts
• A set of eccentric camber washers for front and rear wheel alignment adjustments
• C-spanners for ride height adjustment

The Reiger 3-way model 570 is the definitive choice for drivers and rally teams looking for zero compromises, where the only goal is fighting for overall victory. It is an investment in technology that completely redefines the limits of mechanical grip in the Subaru Impreza GD.
