Race Opt touring car body height adjusters

Race Opt have introduced their new body height adjusters for touring car kits. Making use of a common design, the adjusters allow to easily fine-tune the body height in a 3.5mm to 4mm range with the rear parts sporting a unique design that is meant to improve overall downforce and rear traction as the body rests on enlarged platforms which results in optimised body shell support. Each height adjuster weighs in at about a gram and it is understood that the sets are available separately for the front and the rear.
