FIGHTEX Born into the
world of Racing.
-All
work done in house, total commitment to quality.
-Ride height can be adjustment without compromising spring
pre-loading or damper stroke length. (Type DA, DA-G, EX,
EX-G)
-All Type ST, EX and EX-G also incorporate a 12 step adjustable
system but with separate bump and rebound adjusting.
-Our STD damper design uses a 40 diam. piston giving excellent
overall balance of performance to size, a larger capacity
46 diam. is also used. (New products are continually introduced)
-Full kit's come with pillow-ball upper mounts and remote
/ independent upper spring seat. (Found on both F&R
dampers)
-Full kit's use high strength pillow-balls (NMB) for the
upper mount.
-Spring rates can be changed when ordering. (Where applicable)
-ID60 (internal diameter 60mm) springs.

[Standard
Integrated upper mount]
When standard suspension moves or rotates, the
upper mount is often fixed. This can compromise
the performance of both the spring and the damper.
Spring rates often increase and excessive side
loads placed on the piston rod. Both these can
lead to a reduction in performance.
[FIGHTEX
DAMPER]
Under all conditions the spring has no undue influence
on the suspension geometry or steering.

Feeding
back technology from Racing to you.
A
huge amount of time and energy is spent in the Toda
Racing F3 team working to get the "WIN". Setting
up of an F3 machine not only requires engine development
but also chassis development in particular the dampers.
An example of the performance required of a formula
damper for circuit use is a piston speed of 0.05m/s
and s stroke length of 5mm. (Average road car: piston
speed 0.3m/s, stroke length of 100mm).
Therefore the quality of each part is critical, not
just in the design, or the accuracy in the manufacturing
but also in the selection of material, and the type
of heat treatment used.
A formula car is a very stiff car allowing comparative
tests to be undertaken to show the performance of thins
such as the dampers. To help gain consistency pillow-balls
as used thought. All this technology and racing experience
are constantly being feed back to you through the FIGHTEX
Damper series.
|
| Same
quality, whether it's for street, GT or Formula. |
 |
We
have gained a lot of experience in the racing
field with the development and manufacture of
formula chassis, race engines, and formula transmissions.
One area that cannot be overlooked is in the design
and manufacture of race dampers. With making full
use of our race experience and the latest technology
we have been able to deliver a commercially available
damper of the highest quality. Fightex Damper
production started in 1992.
With careful thought placed on design, analysis,
manufacture, and inspection of all the products
within the Fightex Damper series, a high precision
and high quality product is assured. Fightex Dampers
can also respond with new items, rebuilds and
resetting quickly and efficiently. We are proud
to release the Fightex Damper series with the
same high quality whether it's for the street,
GT or Formula.

Seven
Types of Damper Designed for All Tastes.
|
 |
The standard Fightex Damper.
The
fundamental parameters, such as comfort and stability
were perused so that both impressive handling
could be met along with retaining the comfort
that is required for street use. The FS has acquired
a large amount of data and know-how from feedback
from various fields.
|
|
 |
Separate tank type. Based
on the FS type, but with independent bump and
rebound 2 step tuning. Giving a wider range of
adjustment.
Generally
called piggy back type or remote tank type. Featuring
independent bump and rebound adjustment not found
on the FS type. Precise adjustment is the main
advantage of the separate tank type. Maintenance
is also easier.
|
|
 |
Adjustable bottom brackets.
The dual adjustable type allows quick and easy
adjustment of the total length.
The
total length of the damper can be tuned via the
bottom bracket. The car ride height can be adjusted
without touching the spring pre-load. Helping
to find the delicate balance of traction and grip,
through the various independent parameters of
ride height, spring pre load and rebound stroke
lengths.

|
 |
Dual adjustment Gymkhana
spec.
Designed
for Gymkhana use only. 12 step damping force adjustment
+ full length adjustment. Designed for all the
forms of Gymkhana found in Japan, the DA-G allows
the car to be set up for the various conditions
found at the track suck as weather and track surface.
Drivers in the Japan championship use the adjustability
to continually test and fine tune to find that
winning advantage. The adjustability also allows
you to continually get the best out of the latest
tire compounds.
|
|
 |
The ultimate performer,
incorporating advantages of both the ST and DA
types.
Featuring
independent bump and rebound 12 step tuning along
with adjustable bottom bracket for full length
adjustment independent of spring preload. For
the ultimate performance.
|
|
 |
Expert Gymkhana. For Gymkhana
only.
All
the features of the EX, but designed specifically
for the Gymkhana course.
|
|
 |
N1 Race exclusively designed
for the circuit.
Designed
to make the most out of the racing tire and the
racing circuit conditions for maximum performance.
Not suitable for anything other than a racing
circuit.
