Infinity has released two new optional suspension parts for its TITC-winning IF14 electric touring car. New “low” aluminium lower suspension holders give a hinge pin mounting height that is 0.5mm lower than the standard kit supplied version and are offered in the same -40.0, -44.5 and -46.0 range. Making it possible to set a lower roll centre, the choice of roll centre and toe angle is expanded offering racers an increased range of settings. Also released is a new lower suspension holder spacer. Supplied as a set of four, this 0.4mm spacer allows for quick set-up changes. Adding a single spacer at each lower suspension holder gives almost the same amount of change as derived with the eccentric bushing in the 0.5 position but without the need to remove the suspension.
