Xray T4 aluminium lower suspension arms

Coming from Xray and made for the T4 series of electric touring cars are all-new lower aluminium suspension arms. The wishbones are made of high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, they are of the standard 1-hole geometry and are best used in very high grip conditions such as permanent carpet tracks. Due to their construction arms hardly twist under load and thus scrub less speed in corners while making the car easier to drive at the same time compared to the standard composite arms. The A-arms come in pairs and are available separately for the front and rear of the car or as complete set including all four wishbones.
