Automated production of dampers for classic cars may leave them with somewhat outdated settings from the period when the car was originally on the road. The advantage of Ennepetal's handmade process is that the latest damper technology, developed for today's road conditions, can be incorporated directly into production. The skilled Ennepetal staff can make handmade dampers with a precision that automation cannot achieve. Their fully custom-order system also incorporates each owner's individual preferences to create an ideal high-performance damper.
