Developed to raise the rear wing by 10mm compared to the standard position, the shim will improve overall downforce while also allowing to shift the wing forth and back to further fine-tune the buggy’s aerodynamics. The wing raiser comes machined from lightweight aluminium and features a black surface coating for wear and looks.

Vigor T4 2020 low shock position shock towers

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.
