Xray X4F’25 Alu Front Fixed/Active Shock Holder

Another new option part release from Xray for its X4F’25 Front Wheel Drive Touring Car is this Aluminium Front Fixed/Active Shock Holder. This versatile active shock holder uses shims for adjusting the shock position in more precise shock angle increments. All shocks are located 3mm lower, improving CG, cornering speed and stability, while also making the car easier to drive and more resistant to traction rolling. The Front shock holders offer active or fixed dampening setting alternatives. The Fixed setting is the traditional shock mounting method, while removing the M3x8 screw allow the Active holder bracket to pivot, softening the front suspension dampening to improve off-power steering and increase rotation in high traction conditions. The shock holders are made from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium and black anodised.
