Xray T4 rear front lower suspension holder

New from Xray comes this 1-piece rear front lower suspension mount for the rear end of the T4 touring car. Designed to replace the standard split mount with a single piece holder, the part is best used on high-grip surfaces as it is made to improve steering and rotation into corners. Another benefit of the mount is a higher rigidity in crashes as the 7075 alloy part securely stays in place. The holder comes orange anodised and it is a direct replacement for the standard split mounts.
