Coming from VSR Products and made for the TLR 22 series of 2WD buggies is a 1mm front pivot shim. The part allows to get the latest SLRC super low roll center setup straight from the TLR factory team without having to glue washers and axle shims. The 1mm shim is simply added to the stock 2mm front pivot shim to get 3mm of spacing. The super low roll center makes the car more forgiving especially in high grip conditions while also greatly reducing traction rolling.
