Schumacher have introduced the ultra short shock conversion kit for the Mi6evo touring car. The conversion provides the car with a lower centre of gravity than the standard kit shocks and towers. Stroke has not been compromised, these shocks and towers actually give more stroke than a standard Mi6evo. The shocks offer enhanced damping characteristics with a new larger diameter while the lower CG reduces the risk of traction roll on high-grip circuits. Included come 3 and 4-hole pistons included that utilise a new improved fixing method using a screw and a new seal pack housing with new O-rings improve sealing to prevent leakage. The kit includes all the parts required to convert to the ultra short shocks, including a new 5.5 turn 1.4mm wire 3.0 (N/mm) Schumacher spring and it has already demonstrated its performance in the hands of Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski with his 3rd place at the ETS Hudy Arena.
