We have named this kit the UCC Damper Kit, taking its name from the first letter of the three chassis on which this kit will work (UA6, CL9, and CM).

When considering the 1st gen TSX and 3rd gen TL communities are filled with people on lowered or performance suspension parts, it is hard to think that there would be a hole in the suspension market for these cars. But given our extensive experience supplying these communities Heeltoe Automotive has noticed the perfect setup really does not exist. We have compiled enough data make our own kit design that we believe will capitalize on the needs of the market.




From the 3G TL (UA6 & UA7) perspective:
There are limited suspension options for this car. Most of our customers choose the Tein SS because of its high quality and dampening adjustment. We find that the springs and dampening this suspension affords customers to enhance performance by firming the shocks, or give a stock like ride when the shocks are adjusted softer. One thing we notice time and time again is people trying to raise or lower their car beyond the limit of the Tein SS range. Even adjusting to the end of the maximum or minimum range limits suspension travel, making the ride and handling bad over bumps. Alternatives such as Megan dampers will allow greater lowering range, but the build quality and ability to rebuild these kits deter many of our customers. Likewise we have had a few customers looking for uprated performance over the A-Spec suspension without any additional lowering. So we decided to take the standard TL SS kit and enhance it with the addition of full-length adjustment. This kit is designed to provide additional ride height adjustment while keeping an ideal shock stroke. A minimum height drop of .75" and a maximum drop of 4" provides and unprecedented adjustment range. The OEM upper mounts are used, and can be enhanced with optional Type-S bushings for a more linear and direct chassis feeling providing better car control. The EDFC kit is completely compatible with this kit as well when used with the Fastline Performance Solid Tower Brace. The spring rates on the UCC damper kit will be the same as for the Basic and SS for the TL, 12kg front and 6 kg rear. We find this balance is quite favorable to a good ride and handling balance on the TL. The damper valving will be set slightly higher for enhanced body control at softer settings, necessary for cars that are set very low. The end goal on this chassis is maximum height adjustment range without compromise in comfort or quality at a reasonable cost.
