Precision Carbon Upright for SRX8 GT Applications

The Serpent 601178 Carbon Upright Mount is crafted to tighten steering feedback on SRX8 GT TQ GP models by adding stiffness at the front end. Its carbon construction is chosen to extend component life while keeping mass low.

Race-Proven Carbon Benefits

Carbon fiber's high stiffness helps the 601178 resist flex under load, which improves consistency lap after lap and helps maintain predictable handling through fast corners.

Engineered for Cobra SRX8 GT Series

Made to fit the Cobra SRX8 GT Series, this upright installs cleanly into the factory layout and is a common upgrade for those refining their chassis setup for competition.

Can I reuse my existing bearings when fitting this upright?

In many cases bearings can be reused if they are in good condition, but replacing worn bearings during upgrade is recommended for best performance.

How should I check for damage after a crash?

Inspect for surface cracks, delamination, and any play at mounting holes; swap the part if you notice structural damage or unusual flex.

Will this affect tyre wear or setup limits?

Stiffer uprights can alter load transfer which may change tyre wear patterns; monitor tyre wear and tweak camber or toe as required.

Is carbon tolerant of heat from brakes or nearby components?

Carbon itself handles normal track temperatures well, but avoid prolonged contact with hot components and check resin bonds if exposed to unusual heat.

Any tips for tuning after fitting this upright?

After fitting, start with factory setup and make small changes to camber and shock stiffness to dial in handling, noting improvements in steering precision.
