Suspension & Brake System Authority Since 2003
Founded in 2003, Racecomp Engineering has established itself as the widely recognized authority on suspension and brake design in the Subaru performance community. Their expertise spans decades of motorsports experience with an unwavering commitment to performance at the highest levels of competition.
Racecomp Engineering partnered with KW Suspension to co-brand their coilover systems, bringing world-class suspension technology to Subaru enthusiasts and competitors. The collaboration merges KW's global suspension expertise with Racecomp's deep Subaru knowledge.
The RCE T2-RS is an inverted monotube double-adjustable damper with remote compression valve and reservoir configuration, co-developed with KW RACE. Reservoir pressures range from 9 to 12 bar for an improved vehicle platform, and the advanced compression valving increases support and stability for vehicles with higher aerodynamic loads.
Both compression and rebound damping forces are independently adjustable, allowing precise chassis tuning. The T2-RS can be switched from a 2-way to a 3-way compression adjuster to fit class rules, with no need to purchase a new set of dampers.
Remote reservoirs increase total oil volume and surface area, significantly improving heat dissipation and preventing damper fade during hard track use. A chromoly slide housing provides additional strength and rigidity for the front strut assembly, which is critical for maintaining alignment under load on MacPherson strut platforms.
High-temperature Viton O-rings at critical sealing interfaces reduce damper friction for more precise, consistent response lap after lap. The rear damper is constructed of 7075 aluminum alloy to reduce unsprung weight.
12 clicks of compression adjustment and 18 clicks of rebound, independently controlled for precise chassis tuning at every track.
Increased oil volume and surface area for superior heat dissipation. Houses the advanced compression valve for consistent, fade-free performance.
Front 36mm and rear 33mm pistons for accurate, controlled damping force across the full adjustment range.
Front and rear dampers come with motorsport-grade 20mm progressive RD40 bump stops for controlled end-of-travel behavior.
Modular configuration allows the damper to be switched from 2-way to 3-way compression adjuster to satisfy class-specific rules.
Engineered to meet the requirements of GRIDLIFE Street Mod, Global Time Attack Street, and NASA TT4 competition classes.
Myles from Racecomp Engineering provides critical trackside suspension support for Team Boogeyman at GRIDLIFE events. His expertise in chassis dynamics ensures that the Boogeyman's suspension is optimized for every track condition.
Racecomp Engineering builds the best suspension in the business and teaches you how it works. The Apex Files is their ongoing knowledge base covering everything that affects your suspension setup, from alignment theory to shock rebuilds to the science behind bump stops. If you want to understand what's underneath your car and why it matters, this is the resource.

Camber plates, bolts, arms, and the hardware side of getting your alignment dialed for the track.
The fundamentals of suspension alignment, why it matters, and where to start when setting up your car.
What bump stops actually do, why they matter, and how to spec them correctly for your setup.
Understanding preload, how to set it correctly, and what happens when you get it wrong.
How to assess your dampers and make the right call between a rebuild and a full revalve.
A clear breakdown of the tradeoffs: when coilovers are worth it and when springs are the right move.
