Table notes
- ST top mount — the ST kit comes with the Standard top mount. It can be changed to the Pillowball mount as an add-on, at extra cost: ask for the price on DGR Thailand’s LINE Official account.
- Full Tap — ride height is adjusted on the shock body itself, without changing spring preload.
- Sub-tank — an external reservoir: a separate tank connected to the shock. On DCS-2 the reservoir body is forged 6061‑T6 aluminium and its piston is 7075 aluminium.
- 1-Way / 2-Way — 1-Way has a single damping adjuster. 2-Way adjusts Rebound on the knob at the top of the shock and Compression on the reservoir, separately.
- Top Mount — the part that fixes the top of the shock to the car body. A Pillowball mount uses a spherical bearing. A Camber Plate lets the camber angle be adjusted.
Quick choice
- A family car for everyday driving, comfort first → ST
- Sport valving, a custom spring rate (K) and a Pillowball top mount with Camber Plate → RC

Before you decide
- ST and RC kits exist for every car in our list; DCS-2 is built to order for each car. Check your car for its DGR vehicle code, then ask for the price on DGR Thailand’s LINE Official account.
- RC and DCS-2 both have a Pillowball top mount with Camber Plate. DCS-2 is positioned for competition, circuit use and pro-level users.
- How comfortable the car feels also depends on spring rates, damping setting, ride height and tyres, not on the series alone.
- Every series is installed by an installer or dealer, and needs a wheel alignment after installation.
