0.5mm carbon fibre suspension shims for IF14

Designed specifically for the Infinity IF14 are 0.5mm carbon fibre suspension shims. The parts are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and are designed to increase the track width by 1mm, whilst leaving the driver with maximum toe and roll-centre options and making the car easier to drive in medium and high-grip conditions. The suspension mount shims are simply bolted between the suspension holders of the car and the bulkhead. The shims are sold in sets of four, and they become available at the beginning of 2018 here.
