Team SpeedMerchant have released their new Associated TC6 front and rear lowered shock towers. Designed to fit the new style TC6 or 6.1 with the vertical ball stud bearing caps/bulkheads, both towers have had the shock mounting positions lowered by 2mm. On the front tower they removed the inner most and outer most stock position mounting holes, while the rear tower has had the 2 outer most holes removed, but they have added 2 new Inner holes for mounting your shocks. The rear tower also has a lowered rear body mount position by exactly 1 body clip hole, but the post is in the same location as the stock tower for a painless change over. The towers were lowered as much as possible while still being able to use the stock Associated springs giving your sedan a lower CG, and by utilizing the new mounting positions on the rear tower your TC6 will gain a ton of rotation. They are machined out of 2.5mm quasi-isotropic carbon fiber for superior rigidity and durability.
