Yokomo Drift Package DIB ver.2 premium kit

Yokomo have introduced this limited-edition Drift Package DIB ver.2 Premium Kit, a high-end version of the popular DIB series which sports aluminium A-arms and full aluminium bulkheads. The aluminium A-arms, popular amongst expert drifters, consists of a highly-rigid aluminium lower suspension arm and specialized upper bulkhead. Fore/aft direction adjustability of both the upper and lower sections has been improved along with improved flexibility in adjusting the wheelbase and caster angle (adjustable from 0 to 16.6 degrees). The lower rod end attachment has been designed so that the tread can be adjusted with ease to precisely position the wheel. Furthermore, this kit comes standard with the optional grade-up conversion kits 1 & 2 for DIB. With the two conversion kits installed, the front/rear bulkheads and center bulkhead become aluminium parts, contributing to the increased rigidity and high-end aesthetics.
