At 3.5mm thick, these 100% carbon fibre shock towers offer improved strength over the stock 3mm towers, yet not too thick so they won’t adversely affect the shock geometry of the 2014 car’s variable rear shock mounting system. Furthermore they have incorporated additional shock mounting and camber link holes to allow racers to further fine-tune the handling of their XB4 and XB4’14 buggies and fully explore its full potential.
