T-Works Progressive Damping System for 1/8 GT cars

T-Works have introduced the Progressive Damping System for the Mugen MGT7 and Serpent Cobra GT 1/8th on-road cars. Making use of a common design, the system utilises bushings with triangular-shaped openings as well as plain pistons. The bushings are inserted into the standard shock housings and the plain pistons are used in place of the drilled standard ones while the triangular openings in the tubes allowing the oil to bypass the piston on compression. With ongoing compression the opening above the piston becomes smaller, resulting in a progressive, harder dampening that can lead to faster corner speeds and improved stability. The set includes four bushings and four plain pistons.
