V6 Quantum Racing Two Way Damper Set

Be the first to write a review

Specifically designed and developed for the Exige V6 with a focus on weight and ease of setting up / adjustment.

Dampers are a VERY important part of your car as no matter how powerful you make your engine you will not get the best performance unless the car handles well too.

Quantum Two Zero double adjustable damper kits are a superb upgrade allowing full adjustment in ride height and stiffness.

Quantum dampers have performed above and beyond anything else we have tried and believe us when we say we and our many hundreds of customers and race teams have tried dozens of variations over the years.

We know the “secrets” of why these work so well but will obviously keep those between ourselves and Quantum.

Here are a few details about Quantum and their superb dampers.

Quantum gas mono-tube dampers have been continually refined since its introduction to F1 in 1989.

25 years of development has seen the original one-piece body and bottom give way to a modular design with a captive floating piston.

The 9/16th inch shaft has been reduced to 14mm to take advantage of modern low-friction seal technology and an ‘endless’ Ekonol® reinforced PTFE piston ring has replaced Teflon® band guide tape, yielding improved consistency and wear characteristics.

The gas-pressurised mono-tube design tolerates ‘inverted’ operation, thereby reducing un-sprung mass; while the captive floating piston allows Zero dampers to be easily re-valved without requiring re-pressurisation.

All Quantum Zero dampers are fully CNC machined lightweight 6061-T6 aluminium, assembled in house as direct replacements for the original equipment dampers and springs, specifically valved for the Elise, Exige, Evora, 340R , Europa and VX220 / Speedster model range.

Quantum Zero dampers are hand built from the finest quality components and to exacting standards.Supplied complete as a set of 4 two-way adjustable dampers including pre-installed springs, spacers and seals.

Height adjustable via the spring platform you can have your Lotus sitting as low or as high as you like (very low ride heights can be made to special order).

Quantum’s double adjustable shaft and double needle assembly was originally developed for F1 and makes superfluous the requirement of a reservoir canister.

It offers true independent adjustment of piston bleed in bump and rebound with two 'sweep' adjusters in the top eye.

Advantages include:

Gas-pressurised mono-tube design.
Race proven design and heritage.
Modular design with captive floating piston.
Any valving set-up available from infinite range of shim pack combinations.
Fully Sealed adjuster shafts and mechanism.
14mm hard chrome shaft and low-friction seal technology.
41mm piston for better short stroke control.
Ekonol® reinforced PTFE piston ring Very low friction.
Preload adjustable 2.25" spring hardware.
Fully CNC machined and hand assembled in house.
Fully re-buildable and owner re-valvable.
Very light weight, mainly aluminium, essential for the lightweight Elise.
Designed to run inverted to save un-sprung weight and optimum performance.
Dampers come preloaded with a full set of bearing spacers and are ready to fit.
Infinite range of bump / rebound ratios, which can be changed at any time.
Separate gas charge with fully floating piston design and avoids leaking.
Cellular progressive bump-stop.
Very low friction provides immediate damping response.
Corrosion Resistant - hard anodised and electro-less nickel plated.
Sealed adjusters. Large piston area for better short stroke control.

OUR SPRINGS
Although a full choice of springs are available from 250lbs increasing in 25lbs increments to over 1200lbs

We can advise on suitable settings and spring rates depending on your driving style and the ratio of road and track driving, if you would prefer, customised spring rates are available at no extra charge.
To specify your own spring rates please add this in the order notes.

Our springs are made from the highest quality Silicon Magnesium ground bar, certified to ensure that only the highest quality materials are used equalised and matched to within 1%.

All springs undergo a tightly controlled hardening and tempering processes prior to finishing ensuring minimum decarbonisation; this is followed by shot peening, which increases the fatigue life of the spring.

Black Polyurethane gloss powder coated for exceptional long life and corrosion resistance.
