However, to meet the demands of modern racing slick tyres and contemporary special stages, this classic platform requires an advanced damping system. The Samsonas 3-way kit is an uncompromising suspension built for professional motorsport, guaranteeing precise isolation of body movements from road imperfections and maximum mechanical grip in all conditions.<\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"7\">Practical Customization<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Due to the wide variety of modifications these cars undergo, the Samsonas 3-way kit features a highly modular layout. When placing an order, three critical technical parameters must be specified:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"10\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Top Mount Type:<\/b> Configured either for the factory OEM <b data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"75\">GC8<\/b> chassis or converted to match mounts from the newer <b data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"130\">GD<\/b>Samsonas top mounts come equipped with heavy-duty spherical bearings (uniballs).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Front Knuckle Type:<\/b> The dampers can be configured to interface with standard factory GC8 knuckles featuring the classic <b data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"108\">5 x 100 mm<\/b> bolt pattern (smaller hubs) or tailored to the stronger STI hub variant. <b data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"189\">5 x 114,3 mm<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Reservoir Architecture<\/b> Samsonas allows you to choose the layout and orientation of the external oil and gas canisters:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"10,2,1\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,2,1,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,2,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Remote Reservoir (on a flexible hose):<\/b> Simplifies mounting within convenient locations in the engine bay or boot, optimizing cooling efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,2,1,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,2,1,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">iggyback Reservoir:<\/b> A rigid, integrated mount directly on the damper body, eliminating the need for external routing lines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"9\">Full 3-way Adjustment<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">The system allows for individual tuning of the rebound force as well as compression damping across two separate velocity ranges (High\/Low Speed Compression).
