Xray T4’20 ARS Active Rear Suspension set

Xray have announced the release of their new ARS Active Rear Suspension set for the T4 2020 mid-motor touring car. The set was developed especially for the latest variant of the T4 and its design makes for a controlled toe-in change of the rear wheels as the chassis rolls during cornering, allowing to adjust the behaviour of the car by fine-tuning over or understeering. The result is an improved handling in a variety of conditions and thus quicker lap times if set up correctly. The set includes zero degree aluminium C-hubs, moulded hard composite steering carriers as well as all needed mounting hardware.
