Built for pitching dampers on 1/12-scale on-road competition cars, this black spring carries a volume 5.0 mark and acts as a replacement component for the YR-X12 series. It delivers a consistent spring rate within the damper stack to help control nose pitch during braking and acceleration phases.
Fitting is simple for experienced tuners: open the pitching damper, extract the old spring, place the Yokomo YX-40SBK into the retainer, then reassemble and confirm unobstructed movement. Typical damper service tools are all that is required.
When tuning, consider the YX-40SBK as one factor in front-end balance. Its volume 5.0 classification should be tested with different damper oils and piston options to fine tune corner entry and exit behavior on the YR-X12 chassis.
