R1 Plus Club Sport
Track-spec valving in a street-ready coilover.
The R1 Plus takes the R1's proven full-length platform and upgrades it with aggressive track-spec damping valving and heavy-duty noise-free rubber mounts. Sharper turn-in, tighter body control, and canyon-carving confidence — without excessive harshness for a pure track setup.

CORE PERFORMANCE SPECS
The 3 Specs That Matter Most
Quickly compare damping, ride height and construction before you buy.

Heavy-Duty Rubber MountsNoise-Free Daily Driving
RIDE FEEL
What It Feels Like on the Road
Lower the car, tighten the chassis and keep the ride usable for daily driving.
Comfort
Firm but Civilized
Don't let "track-spec" scare you. The heavy-duty rubber upper mounts absorb high-frequency vibration that pillow-ball mounts transmit, keeping cabin noise and harshness in check. Set damping to the softer end and the R1 Plus is a comfortable daily driver — firmer than the R1, but rarely punishing.
Street
Sharp and Responsive
The aggressive valving makes itself known the moment you push into a corner. Turn-in is immediate, mid-corner stability is planted, and the car tracks straight under hard braking. The 24-way range lets you dial back for city driving or firm up for an aggressive commute.
★ Sweet Spot
Canyon & Autocross — R1 Plus's Sweet Spot
Built for Back Roads and Cone Courses
This is what the R1 Plus was made for. The track-spec valving comes alive on twisty canyon roads and autocross courses, where the enhanced compression and rebound control keeps the chassis flat and composed through rapid transitions. The full-length adjustment lets you fine-tune ride height for your preferred balance of grip and clearance. It's the sweet spot between a street coilover and a dedicated track setup — capable enough to compete, comfortable enough to drive home.
Track
Weekend Track Capable
The R1 Plus handles sustained track sessions better than the R1 thanks to its aggressive valving, but it's still a twin-tube design. For regular track days with consistently high temperatures, the R2's monotube construction offers enhanced heat resistance.
Serious About Track?
Step Up to R2
The R2's monotube gas-oil separated design provides enhanced heat dissipation for sustained track use, 32-way fine damping for precise setup, and pillow-ball upper mounts with camber plates for added camber adjustment capability.

55CrSi Chromoly Springs — Consistent Performance Under Load
VREL coilover springs are forged from high-tensile 55CrSi chromoly alloy steel, designed to maintain consistent spring response and resist fatigue under repeated compression — validated through 3 million cycle fatigue testing.
Hard-Chrome Plated Piston Rod — A Core VREL Advantage
The Cr-Mo steel piston rod features a hard chrome plating surface treatment (HRC 70+ hardness) that delivers three key performance advantages over standard steel rods: high wear resistance that helps extend oil seal life, enhanced corrosion resistance for harsh climates and winter road salt, and low-friction operation that helps maintain consistent damping response across millions of cycles — validated through 3 million cycle fatigue testing.
