R2 Track Advanced
Monotube precision for track and performance driving.
Gas-oil separated monotube construction, 32-way fine damping, and pillow-ball upper mounts with camber plates. The R2 is engineered for drivers who demand consistent performance under sustained load and precise control over every aspect of their suspension setup.

RIDE FEEL
What It Feels Like on the Road
Lower the car, tighten the chassis and keep the ride usable for daily driving.
Street
Firm, Communicative, Purposeful
The R2 is streetable — but it makes no apologies for being firm. The monotube design transmits more road feedback than twin-tube alternatives, and the pillow-ball mounts add directness to the steering response. For daily driving, set damping toward the softer end. It won't match an L1 or L2 for plushness, but it delivers a connected, purposeful feel that performance-oriented drivers appreciate.
Stance
Full-Length Precision Drop
Full-length adjustment lets you set the ride height exactly where you want it without sacrificing suspension travel. Whether you're dialing in a slight rake for track aesthetics or going low for a show build, the R2's threaded body gives you the range and precision to get it right.
★ Primary Mission
Track — R2's Primary Mission
Sustained Performance Under Load
This is what the R2 was built for. The monotube gas-oil separated design maintains consistent damping force even under sustained high-temperature track use — reduced damping fade, helps reduce oil aeration, and more consistent performance under sustained load lap after lap. The 32-way fine damping adjustment lets you tune compression and rebound to suit any circuit, tire compound, or driving style. Pillow-ball upper mounts with camber plates give you added camber adjustment capability for optimal grip. When the session ends, the R2 drives you home — no trailer needed.

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.
