In the mid 1970's Tokico developed the twin-tube low-pressure gas shock design, a technology that has been adopted world-wide. Since then, Tokico has improved its products and continues to provide the industry with extra ordinary new innovations. One of these innovations is the Acura TL Tokico-Illumina adjustable shock and struts. This Adjustable shock allows users to easily fine tune their suspension for different environments using only a screwdriver. Internally, the Acura TL  Illumina adjustable shock incorporate's an intricate adjustable system with a unique multi-stage variable piston and valve design. The valve system has a five position bypass shutter valve and utilizes detents for easy adjustable levels, five different configurations of simultaneous rebound and compression damping are possible with the  Acura TL Illumina adjustable shock making this shock and strut extremely versatile.Whether you are going to the track or just cruising the streets, the Acura TL Illumina shock adjustable range is sure to adapt to fit your needs.

 Adjustable shock absorber, springs, suspension components and pivot bushings allow suspension movement, but something it is needed to eliminate excessive bouncing.Without proper control, suspension motion will become excessive and even violent. If springs are the heart, then the shock can be considered the brains. This Shock use hydraulic friction to damp out or resist suspension movement. While springs are load sensitive devices, shocks react to suspension velocities. They remove kinetic energy from the suspension and convert it into heat,which is dissipated into the air. Shocks work in two directions Compression direction works with the spring to reduce bottoming and help keep the tire in contact with the road surface. Rebound controls the release of spring energy as it returns to its normal height, so the vehicle dosnt bounce or float. Excessive shock control delivers a harsh ride and reduced traction, while too little control allows the chassis and tires too much movement.
