Hiro Seiko have announced the release of new lightweight screw sets for a range of on-road kits, such as the Awesomatix A800X Evo, Serpent F110 SF4, Xray T4F, and the Yokomo YRX12’19. The screw kits are available as full titanium or mixed titanium and aluminium sets, with the latter including titanium for the lower and alloy screws for the upper areas of the chassis. The Awesomatix, Serpent and Yokomo specific mixed sets include natural titan and silver anodised alloy screws while the Xray set utilises orange anodised alloy fasteners to match the car’s alloy parts. Using the screws will lower the vehicle’s overall weight while offering higher corrosion resistance and cooler looks than the standard steel fasteners.

Yokomo BD9 6-hole shock pistons

Yokomo have introduced new 6-hole shock pistons for the BD9 touring car. Using the same hole diameter as the standard 4-hole variants, the 6-hole parts offer improved absorption against fine vibrations while keeping good overall response for enhanced traction. Also the outer diameter is also slightly enlarged for less blow-by during fast compression and thus improved balance in fast corners. To achieve the same mount of damping, upping shock viscosity by 50 to 100cst is advised.
