Firm Demfi is located in Togliatti.The products of this company are good in that it is able to satisfy a very wide range of consumers, ranging from those who quietly drive around the city and to those who love extreme driving or racing.
High localization
The work of this company began long ago,back in 2006. The new company, which opened in the city of Togliatti, which is considered to be the automobile capital of Russia, that year released the first pair of shock absorbers, as well as racks for domestic cars. From that moment to the present day, the company only improved its product range, and also strengthened its position in the market. This growth was facilitated by the fact that the main principle of the products from this company was to achieve a better balance between price and quality. This approach has helped the company to reach the leading lines in sales, especially in crisis years.
While product prices from othermanufacturers grew steadily, and it’s not worth talking about the prices of imported spare parts, Demfi could keep the value of their goods at the same level. Basically, this was possible due to the fact that the proportion of purchases of parts from abroad for the production of their products is very, very small. In almost all reviews of the racks "Demfi", as well as their shock absorbers, it is precisely the best price / performance ratio.
Products of the company "Demfi"
This manufacturer can boast thatIts products are suitable for any class of drivers. Kits are made and sold for maximum comfort and smoothness in the city, and another series is also produced that is intended for the racing approach of driving, providing maximum control of the car. In addition, there is a third line of products, which can be called the "golden mean"
Details from the company "Demfi" from the series "Drive"intended for lovers of the most active driving, as well as for those who prefer to take turns at the highest possible speed. The stiffness of this suspension is greater than that of other rulers, which allows to satisfy such needs.
Production of struts and shock absorbers "Demfi"
Одним из положительных качеств этого товара is that there is a warranty on any product for 12 months of operation. There are no restrictions on mileage. Racks that are initially understated receive a 6-month warranty, also without limitation on mileage. Parts are manufactured according to the following principles:
- The basic principle is to maintain the best price / quality ratio.

Premium and Comfort Series
The first Comfort series is the best choice forthose who want to slightly improve the standard performance of their vehicle. In this line there are both oil racks and shock absorbers, and gas-filled. In addition, the products of this series have the property of "gas backwater". The purpose of this backwater is to provide better suspension performance in transition from one road surface to another. In addition, the suspension of this series has a stiffness of 10% greater than the factory, which means that the handling of the vehicle will also increase.
Another episode is Demfi Premium.The name of the line speaks for itself. Products in this category are the best parts that a company can produce. The reliability level for racks of this type is the highest. In addition, for lovers of low landing, racks with an understatement of 30 to 90 mm are available. In addition, it is worth adding that the Demfi racks on the VAZ from the Premium series will save the driver from problems such as separation of the wheels from the road surface, the occurrence of car demolitions, and also eliminate the problem of “yawing” the car on the road at high speeds.

- Starting from the same period, the support of the shock absorber buffer also began to be marked.
- Since August 2015, the company also began to apply protective stickers, as well as stickers with the name of the product. You can find these stickers on the product body.
Design of racks "Demfi"
Demfi stands have several distinctive features.features from ordinary parts from other manufacturers. The most noticeable advantage was that the racks from this manufacturer have the ability to externally adjust stiffness, that is, they do not need to be disassembled. In addition, they have several more qualities:
- The collapsible design allows you to disassemble the part at any time and carry out repairs or change the performance of the rack.
- A distinctive part of the steel structure is alsooil seals for shock absorbers. The stem seals, as well as the guide sleeve, are made according to the drawings developed by the company’s specialists, especially for Damfi shock absorbers. In addition, tests were performed on the stuffing box with Russian as well as imported shock absorber fluids. Specialists managed to reduce the leakage defect of this part to almost zero, as well as increase the operating temperature range from -40 to +125 degrees Celsius.
Shock absorbers "Demfi"
Among all the manufacturers of this product "Demfi"distinguished by the fact that the quality of their products is high, and the cost is relatively low. And this is exactly what the Russian auto parts market needs. These parts can be used in domestic VAZ cars of such brands as Lada-Kalina, Priora, Samara and others. When creating these spare parts, specialists from the company tried to take into account all the weaknesses of standard, factory spare parts, which, in general, they did. The shock absorbers of this company are now better than standard parts. Some design features of the shock absorbers have been fixed.
- Specialists took into account the weather conditions of the Russian Federation, which led to constructive changes in the gland and sleeve, which greatly increased the tightness of this spare part.
- The bypass valve was also changed, and the characteristics of the throttles were changed, and the noise and knocking of these parts were completely excluded.
In addition, the temperature regime has greatly increased its boundaries thanks to the use of Shell fluid.
Shock Absorber Features
There are three for Damper shock absorbers.speed characteristics - degressive, progressive and linear. The advantage of a degressive speed characteristic is that there is increased resistance to lateral and angular vibrations, which can be noticed when changing the lane, as well as when the vehicle enters into a turn. Most Russian-made pendants are designed specifically for the use of shock absorbers with degressive high-speed charatcristic. However, it should be noted that if shock absorbers with such a characteristic are installed, then it is necessary to carefully choose the part to replace, otherwise there is a chance of cracks or breakdowns.
Functional features of shock absorbers
In order to stay on the leading lines,specialists are constantly working to improve their products. This is evidenced by a lot of positive reviews about the racks “Demfi”. Despite the continuous improvement of parts, they can be divided into several classes according to their functional features.
- Most commonly used shock absorbers DemfiStandart, which are divided into two classes - hydraulic and gas-filled. In the second case, a gas such as nitrogen is used for filling. Control and smoothness characteristics are improved when compared with the factory ones.
- The Demfi Sport shock absorber line stands out, which is distinguished by its enormous stiffness, which greatly increases the controllability of the vehicle, but at the same time, its ride also does not decrease.
- Another functional group of shock absorbers isSpecial A distinctive feature of this line is that they can adjust the suspension depending on the make of the vehicle, as well as on the driving style of each driver.
- The use of gas in shock absorbers improves the stability of the entire mechanism. In addition, the use of gas eliminates the occurrence of knocks when operating in a low-temperature environment.
Shock Absorber Benefits
The most prominent indicator of shock absorbers"Demphi" is that they have been successfully combined two characteristics. The parameters of the shock absorbers are very close to linear, but there is a limitation of maximum forces with increasing piston speed. It is also worth mentioning that for the vast majority of motorists who prefer regular driving, Demfi hydraulic shock absorbers cope with their functions 100%. This is evidenced by reviews about the struts of "Demfi", as well as the shock absorbers "Demfi". The production of these spare parts is organized in three types:

The negative comments can be attributed only to the fact that some noted a slight excessive rigidity of these struts and shock absorbers. However, some say that this excessive rigidity disappears if 1-2 people are additionally traveling in the car.
