T-Works 16mm shock diaphragm sets

T-Works have introduced two new shock diaphragm sets for 16mm big bore shock absorbers. Available in a softer hollow and a harder honeycomb design variant, the diaphragms fit many of today’s 16mm 1/8th scale shock absorbers and they help to adjust rebound to the driver’s liking. The hollow “A” variants will make for smoother rebound characteristics as the honeycomb “B” volume compensators will make for a harder rebound, the latter being a good choice especially for smoother track conditions. The A and B variants are available as separate 4-piece sets.
