Cusco Touring A, OEM Replacement 40-Way Adjustable Shock Absorbers
The Cusco Touring A is a direct OEM replacement shock absorber and strut assembly that retains the factory vehicle height and spring configuration while adding 40-step damper adjustability. It is the ideal upgrade for enthusiasts who want a noticeably improved driving experience without changing the look or stance of their car. The Touring A slots straight into the factory mounting positions, reuses the original upper mounts and springs, and can be set at the factory equivalent damper rate or dialled firmer or softer to suit different roads and preferences. At maximum firmness it delivers up to 140% more damping force than the factory unit. Every set is 100% manufactured in Japan in ISO 9001 and ASEA certified facilities.
CPRV technology explained
The Touring A features Cusco's CPRV (Corrective Pressure Regulating Valve), a pressure dependent bypass built into the base of the damper rod. It automatically compensates hydraulic fluid flow to maintain a minimum comfort level at soft and mid damper settings, preventing the shock from becoming too soft or inconsistent at low adjustment clicks. This is particularly important on a comfort-focused unit where the lower end of the adjustment range sees the most use. The factory equivalent setting on most applications is around 20 clicks.
