Rêve D HT Rear Lower arm

Drifting brand Rêve D has introduced their new HT rear lower arm for improved rear traction. The HT rear lower arm, which is machined from lightweight and highly rigid DURACON (POM) material, achieves a highly precise finish and dramatically smooth suspension movement. There are two lengths, 42mm and 45mm. In addition to the caster angle of 0 degrees, the 42mm has a caster angle of 2.6 degrees with an inclination on the outer pin side. As a unique feature, the 42mm and 45mm arms with a caster angle of 0 degrees adopt a reversible structure, and two types of damper mounting heights can be selected by exchanging the left and right. The 42mm caster 2.6 degrees type can increase traction without hindering the sinking of the suspension by tilting the knuckle forward without adding a skid angle. Rêve D recommend using it in combination with the recently announced long type suspension mounts.
