Tanabe TSD001 TEAS

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 vehicles Speed Sensor.

Remote dampening control from within the vehicle is not a new concept by any means. In fact, many Japanese vehicles from the 1980s 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, TEAS is a much larger step towards highly digital advanced suspension control and tuning through its speed sensing Active Mode

TEAS active dampening control is uniquely possible due to the use of the specialized valving of the FIVE & SEVEN, 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.
