Product Description
New 1K2 shock absorber for Lamborghini Islero models from 1968-70. 1K2 Height and Damping Adjustable.The 1K2 is a real high-end shock absorber for demanding street and competition use. The 1K2 is built using the finest materials. The housing is made from 7075 aluminum. This guarantees low weight, maximum strength, and optimum cooling. The 1K2 damper is always chosen in the largest size possible for the most accurate damping control: normally a 46mm body with a 40mm piston and a 16mm piston rod. Mac Pherson struts are normally converted from the standard 22mm piston rod to an upside down system with a 40 or 45mm guidance tube for maximum stiffness and wheel guidance. This is especially important when the G-forces are higher than obtainable with the standard vehicle. The 1K2 can optionally be equipped with a Black Titan coating on the guidance and piston rod. This is a coating that cannot rust and is extremely hard and smooth. The friction is lowered with these piston rods, improving comfort, reducing oil temperatures, improving traction, and extending life time under the severest conditions. The Black Titan is a luxury which if you can afford it is certainly recommended. When there is sufficient room available, the 1K2 can be equipped with a spring rate adjuster which makes it possible to change the spring constant without removal of the struts or springs.SettingsFor most applications there are the following different settings on the spring rates, shim stacks and damping pistons available:1Fast street or occasional trackday. This is an upgrade to the sporty side from the OEM equipment. Daily comfort, vibration, and noise levels are just as important as handling.2Trackday or bumpy race circuit or Nordschleife. A suspension to race on both smooth and bumpy circuits. It is possible to ride to and from the circuits. Ride height is enough to drive on public roads. Laptimes and handling are more important than comfort levels.3Full race or rally. Stiff suspension, designed to work with slicks and rollcage fitted. Not useable on the street. Lap time optimized.
