Xray have introduced an aluminium progressive shock system for the ultra short ULP shock absorbers of the T4’18 touring car. Coming in pairs, the set includes two aluminium inserts and two blank shock pistons that provide a progressive damper action upon compression, something that is regarded as a must-have especially on asphalt tracks.
