FAQ

Question- What is your company policy regarding Personal information?
Answer-
We’re in the business of selling auto accessories, not mailing lists! All the information you provide when placing an order stays right here at Eurotek Tuning. We don’t sell our customer lists to any other entities, not even car-related. The information you provide is used solely to process your order.

Question- What is your company return policy?.

Question- Do I need to align my car with my suspension install?
Answer- Not right away, We recommend waiting a week after your suspension installation to have your car aligned. As long as ride heights at each corner and all fasteners have been torqued per the service manual, no adverse effects on alignment will occur with the suspension installation. That being said, any minor alignment issues with the stock suspension (slightly off center steering slight pull to one side) can be exaggerated when the suspension system is modified. The reason to wait a week is to allow the new dampers and OEM spring perches to settle. After this, an alignment is advised.

Question- Wont high spring rates make the ride harsh?
Answer- No. The primary function of the spring rate is to control the roll of the vehicle. Body roll, brake dive and acceleration squat are all functions of the spring rate. By increasing the rate of the spring, you decrease the movement of the body. Ride compliance and harshness are more a function of high speed damper compression resistance than spring rate.

Question- What is compression damping?
Answer- a damper also known as a shock or strut, has two ranges of motion. As the shaft of the damper compresses into the damper body, the damper is in compression. In application, as your vehicle enters a bump, the damper will compress. Compression damping is the primary factor is ride quality, road compliance and steering response. Compression force can also act as additional spring rate in a car. It is possible to run a strong compression damper, with a very soft spring. In comparison, it is not good to run a very strong spring with a very soft damper.

Question- What is rebound damping?
Answer- A damper, also known as a shock or strut, has two ranges of motion. As the shaft of the damper extends out of the damper body, the damper is in rebound. In application, as your vehicle exits a bump, the dampers will rebound. The core function of rebound in a damper is to provide the roll control of the vehicle. Another function of damper rebound is to control the spring rate on the car. A car with too little rebound will be unable to control high spring rates. Much like putting an aggressive spring rate on a soft damper (like an OEM damper) will result in poor overall ride quality.

Question- What is digressive and double-digressive damping?
Answer-
Digressive damping describes the style of damper valving. Double-digressive simply means that the damper valving is digressive on both the compression and the rebound side of the damper. Digressive (as the name implies) means that the compression or rebound force will change or digress from a given path at some point. In comparison, a linear rate damper follows the same increasing path. The amount of digression and the point at which the compression or rebound digresses are part of the valving of the damper. For more information on digressive valving and how it compares to linear rate valving, see our write up in the Technology section.

Question- What is a floating rotor?
Answer- A floating rotor has oblong holes instead of straight holes cut into the rotor flange to allow for thermal expansion. In comparison, a floating hat uses a hat with slots cut into it and a straight hole in the rotor flange.
