Tanabe Electric Active Suspension (TEAS) Universal - All Cars
SKU:TAN-TSD001 (10228)MSRP:$598.00
Price: $538.95
TEAS stands for "Tanabe Electric Active Suspension" and is the counterpart of the Sustec Pro Five & Sustec Pro Seven suspensions. This compact unit is the 'brain' behind the highly sophisticated new Tanabe suspensions. TEAS is a fully programmable dampener controller that allows for dampening force to be automatically adjusted while driving. TEAS accomplishes this by connecting and using the signal from the vehicle's speed sensors.
Remote dampening control from within the vehicle is not a new concept by any means. In fact, many Japanese vehicles from the 1980's including the FC3S RX-7 and MA70 Supra had buttons to change dampening from "normal" to "sport." Unlike other controllers that are simply an update of this older 'analog' technology, the TEAS has taken much larger step towards highly digital advanced suspension control and tuning through it's speed sensing "Active Mode".
TEAS active dampening control is uniquely possible due to the use of the specialized valving of the Tanabe Sustec Pro Five & Seven coilovers, in conjunction with TEAS' slim, high speed actuators. These actuators change dampener settings in 1/100ths of a second, which is necessary as TEAS can continuously change settings at different speeds.
Tanabe Electric Active Suspension (TEAS) Acura RSX Non Type S (DC5) 2002-2006 Features:
- High Speed Actuators. Because the TEAS unit is an "active" suspension controller that can continuously change dampener settings, the speed of the actuators is key. Active changes in suspension need to be quick and immediate upon reaching the programmed 'trigger' speeds, so TEAS actuators are designed to change settings in an amazing 0.013seconds (1/100ths of a second).
- Exceeds OEM standards for quality. Every component of Seven and TEAS exceeds OEM standards for quality. Some new luxury vehicles have actuators on their suspensions to switch from Normal to Sport suspension, TEAS' actuators exceeds these automakers in quality and reliability. The ultra slim profile actuators have a protective boot to protect the intricate inner working of the actuators, for flawless and accurate operation. These ultra slim actuators are made of metal, instead of the bulky inexpensive plastic used by some competitor brands.
- Ultra Silent Actuation. Since TEAS can continuously and automatically change dampener settings, quiet operation is a necessity. Other manufacturers have extremely noisy actuators since their units are not active, and must be manually adjusted. TEAS has settings to have an audible beep for dampener changes, with volume settings, and logically, an OFF option for quiet operation.
- Memory Storage. TEAS uses onboard flash memory to store settings. This onboard memory means that memory settings can be saved and recalled, even when the battery is disconnected. TEAS can store four manual mode presets which also work as Active Mode 'base maps'. One active mode program may be saved for a total of eight settings. TEAS also has backup memory onboard, should you wish to restore default settings.
- Speed Signal Sensitivity Adjustment. TEAS is a passive system that connects to and reads many different speed signals, and has calibration options to adapt to the speed signal of any vehicle. Since many cars are equipped with aftermarket stereos, amplifiers, and other hi-interference devices, TEAS has the option of adjusting sensitivity, to prevent getting false electronic signals and interference from these types of devices.
- High Contrast LED Backlight. TEAS uses a high contrast LCD display for easy reading. Blue LED backlights can brighten and dim for simply, trouble free night and day useage.
