High-Performance Shock Absorbers | Off-road vehicles, racing, heavy trucks | Damping Force: 6,000 N (ISO 14363 compliant) ▲▲▲ Stroke Length: 250 mm (ASTM F519) | ▲▲▲ Superior load handling, extreme durability, reduces vibration | High cost ($200+), heavier than economy models |
Economy Shock Absorbers | Standard passenger cars, budget vehicles | Damping Force: 3,000 N (ASTM A36 steel) Weight: 1.8 kg (ISO 3095) | Affordable ($50–$100), lightweight, easy installation | Limited lifespan (3–5 years), poor performance in rough terrain |
Gas-Charged Shock Absorbers | Luxury SUVs, high-end sedans | Pressure Rating: 300 kPa (SAE J2817) Fade Resistance: 95% efficiency | ▲▲ Reduced aeration, consistent damping across speeds | Requires professional servicing, costlier than oil-only variants |
Coil-Over Shock Absorbers | Tuning enthusiasts, aftermarket mods | Adjustable Damping: 5 levels (ISO 3095) Stroke Adjustment: 100–200 mm | Customizable ride height and stiffness | Complex installation, fragile seals, higher price ($300–$500 per unit) |
Heavy-Duty Shock Absorbers | Commercial trucks, trailers | Load Capacity: 2,000 kg (ASTM A533) Corrosion Resistance: 1,200 hrs salt spray (ASTM B117) | ▲▲▲ Handles extreme payloads, rugged construction | Bulky design, incompatible with small vehicles |
Armstrong Base Model | Front-wheel drive cars, compact SUVs | Material: Steel (ASTM A36) Noise Level: 43 dBA (quieter than refrigerator hum) | Cost-effective ($80–$120), ▲ matches economy category but with steel durability | Fixed damping settings, no customization |
Armstrong Advanced Model | Performance sedans, light trucks | Material: Stainless Steel (ASTM A240) Damping Force: 4,500 N ▲▲▲ Response Time: 0.15 sec (ISO 14363) | ▲▲▲ Outperforms industry standards in responsiveness, corrosion-resistant | Premium price ($180–$250), heavier than base model |
