Vigor T4 2020 low shock position shock towers

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 03:24 AM PST

Vigor have introduced carbon fibre shock towers for the Xray T4 2020 that allow to access the optional lower shock mounting position. The shock towers feature updated geometries with lower upper shock mounting positions that allow to use the low lower shock mounting positions on the long arms of Xray’s all-new T4 2020 touring car. Using this setup will further improve handling in high to very high-bite track conditions as the lower mounted shock absorbers will lower the overall centre of gravity which helps to settle the ride.
