Hot Bodies Cyclone chassis posts

One part of the Hot Bodies Cyclone Carpet spec that we missed when we first wrote about it was this aluminium chassis post set with adjustable torsion control, which gives the ability to quickly adjust to changing traction conditions at a busy race. The use of these posts along with the solid upper rear and middle deck increase stiffness, while the adjustable torsion control enables you to precisely dial in your car and knock off those tenths needed to get ahead of the competition. Sold with the required fasteners and a set of 4 O-rings.
