TMG Speed ride height gauge & slider

TMG Speed have introduced their new ride height gauge and slider. The height gauge is adjustable between 15mm and 20mm but comes with two seats – one 5mm and one 10mm. This allows adjustment from 15mm to 30mm which is ideal for 1/10th and 1/8th applications. Also available now is the TMG slider which fits around the height gauge to easily allow to position the gauge without trying to reach under the car and getting a false height adjustment for the vehicle. The slider will also work well with TMG’s soon to be released 10mm to 15mm height gauge for indoor carpet setups.
