T-Works large surface M4 wheel nuts

T-Works have introduced their new large surface M4 wheel nuts with serrated back section. The fasteners are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and their design with an increased diameter, that acts like an additional shim, ensures improved wheel fitment on the hub as the rims are less prone to wobble during hard cornering or when running on high-bite surfaces. The non-directional serration on the back side ensures the nuts stay on place and will not coming loose during normal operation. The wheels nuts come in packs of four, in the five colours of light blue, black, red, orange and gun metal and they are usable with a wide range of on-road and off-road rims.

Vigor BD8 “half-hole” carbon fibre shock towers

Coming from Vigor and made for the Yokomo BD8 is a range of new carbon fibre shock towers including “half-hole” variants for more precise shock angle adjustment. The items are cut from thinner 3mm carbon fibre compared to the standard 3.5mm material for increased torsional flex and thus improved traction on lower bite surfaces. The front tower is available as a 2-5 position option, lacking the 1 position, and also as 1.5 to 4.5 “half-hole” variant. The rear tower, that allows for front or rear body post mounting, comes in a 4-hole 1-4 or 3-hole 1.5 to 3.5 variant. All are cut from high-quality carbon fibre and they are a direct fit.
