New from Rêve D are these R-tune series 2WS (two-way short) style front springs. The design has proved very popular due to its overwhelming control performance. Compared to the current 2WS front spring, which are good all around springs, these new versions have improved control and response time, especially on rebound. The lineup consists of two types, soft and hard.

Rêve D have introduced the long-awaited 6mm version high traction spring retainer, to add a further option to what was already available. By increasing the spring position you positively induce chassis roll and improve side grip without compromising traction performance. A thoroughly lightweight design, it not only improves suspension performance by reducing unsprung load, but also looks great. The cups are machined from high-quality aluminium, they sport a black surface finish, machined silver edge details and white laser-engraved markings.
Rêve D have announced the upcoming release of their new MC-1 conversion kit for the YD-2. The car that won the R.C.D.C. All Japan E-Drift Championship as a prototype is finally ready. Rêve D main designer Hayato Matsuzaki, together with the development team and team drivers all worked together to further refine the kit and after almost a year it’s ready. 2.5mm thick carbon material is used for the main chassis, upper deck & vertical deck to optimise pitch & roll rigidity. The aluminium gear case, which has succeeded in reducing the weight to the utmost while maintaining rigidity, has been designed so that the gear differential unit can be easily attached and detached, achieving outstanding maintainability. The new motor plate design allows you to select the motor height in 3 steps without removing the spur gear unit, making it easy to change the settings. The MC-1 conversion will be available in 2 versions, the slide rack spec or the bell crank (wiper) spec.

Rêve D have released a new range of optional aluminium servo case backs in purple, red and silver for their RS-ST servo. A direct replacement for the standard plastic part, these new case backs not only look great but also offer greater heat dissipation and improved rigidity. Additionally for their servos come a set of SPM titanium case screws, which are made of a super lightweight, rigid titanium material not only look great but offer a good weight reduction over the standard steel part.
Coming from Rêve D and made for their ASL front axles are new 2mm and 4mm brass wheel spacers. Both the 2mm and 4mm spacer weigh in at 1.98g with the different offset allowing to fine-tune the suspension track width. Using the brass spacers over the original, lightweight aluminium hexes will improve stability while diving into slow speed corners or holding the outside line of fast high speed corners. Both spacers are designed to interlock with the ASL axle and they are available separately as 2-piece sets.
Rêve D have introduced their new Super Precision Machine Cut series long neck ball stud. The part is ideal for all drift cars that use sliding steering racks and a lot of spacers for Ackermann adjustment. The narrow neck design allows for increased ball stud motion while the polished surfaces ensures smooth steering and suspension action while adding shine to any chassis.

Rêve D have announced the soon release of their new HT rear lower arms for drift car kits such as the Yokomo YD-2. The High Traction HT specification arms are CNC-machined from high-quality Duracon POM material for an accurate finish and best possible suspension action and they are of a reversible design, allowing to run the rear lower shock absorber mounting positions in two different heights, helping to fine-tune the suspension settings. The arms are available in 45mm, 48mm, or 51mm length and they use 3mm inner and 2mm outer suspension pins. Also available is a maintenance kit that includes four M2 tapping screws as well as a pair of 6mm spacers, the latter is necessary for the YD-2 series cars as the arms are 6mm narrower in the inner arm mounting area.
