Recommendations for damper selection
 The requirements of a Racing damper should always take into consideration the area of application. A decision should be made between an adjustable variant or a damper with a fixed characteristic curve. Since the dampers have been conceived for prevalent spring sizes, they can be easily used with regular production racing springs.
User‘s guides are normally available in the respective catalogs. When installing the dampers, the same painstaking care should be used as with the installation of any series parts.

Racing dampers are only designed for use in racing, and not on public roads! The dampers should be visually checked following every application and event.
