T-Works T4 DLC-coated suspension pin set

Coming from T-Works and made for the Xray T4 touring car is a DLC-coated suspension pin set. The exclusive coating is known from the crankshafts of nitro engines where it reduces wear and tear of the shaft and conrod as the Diamond Like Coat will reduce friction and stress on the surface. The suspension pins’ slick surface will improve suspension efficiency while the dark colour adds a cool look to the lower areas of the chassis. Included in the set, that is usable with the 2016 to 2018 variants of the T4, are front and rear inner and outer shafts that are also available separately.
