Techra T4 split/1-piece suspension mounts set

Techra have introduced a new interchangeable split and 1-piece suspension mount system for the Xray T4 touring car. Utilising the original Xray suspension pin inserts, the set includes new split inner suspension mounts as well as a 2.6g aluminium and a 8.1g brass connecting bride to create a solid “1-piece” mount if needed. The system helps to both reduce torsional flex while also adding weight which can be beneficial in certain track conditions. The aluminium parts are cut from high-quality 7075 material and they come black and orange anodised while the brass bride is made from polished material. The set is best used in the front of the car and it is available now.
