ARC release new brass suspension blocks & springs

Coming from ARC are new brass suspension blocks for the R12 touring car as well as a progressive 20mm shock spring. Starting with the suspension blocks, the suspension hangers are useful option parts to adjust and fine-tune the weight distribution while maintaining a low centre of gravity. Available are FF, RF, FR and RR blocks all of which are machined of heavy brass material with the whole set adding up to 21.5g of weight. The blocks can be used completely or as a mix and match with the standard aluminium hangers to achieve the desired weight bias setting. Also new and made for the R12 are 20mm C2.5-2.8 progressive springs. The red-marked springs can be used front or rear depending on the track conditions.
