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.
