Compatibility and setup guidance

The Yokomo YZ-017GW1 front shock tower is a 3.5mm graphite upgrade intended for Works'91 TeamSpec cars. The plate stiffens the upper shock mounting area and helps keep suspension geometry stable under aggressive driving and braking on the track.

With a medium-thickness graphite build, the tower provides improved stiffness at the mounts while keeping weight low, producing sharper shock action without a significant mass penalty. The shape accepts the common upper shock mounting positions used on YZ-W91TS and YZ-W91, allowing a direct replacement of the OEM tower.

Fit notes: install the tower on the existing shock posts using the same fasteners as the original. No additional hardware is usually necessary. Use the various upper mount holes and adjust shock length or spring rates when tuning to refine front roll center and balance.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will this tower work with both YZ-W91TS and YZ-W91 straight away?

Yes. The YZ-017GW1 is shaped to match the standard upper mount positions on both YZ-W91TS and YZ-W91 and fits using the original mounting points.

Does the thicker graphite alter setup strategy?

A thicker mount can change leverage and feel, so re-evaluate upper mount selection and spring choice; small iterative tests will reveal the best setup for your driving style.

Is any special hardware recommended for race events?

Standard hardware is normally fine, but carrying spare screws and checking torque between runs is good practice for race events to prevent loosening after hard use.

Should I expect different tyre wear after installing this tower?

Indirectly yes; changes in front-end stiffness can alter handling balance, which may affect tyre load distribution. Monitor tyre wear and tweak settings as needed.

How do I check the tower after a heavy impact?

Inspect for visible cracks or delamination around mounting holes and along the plate edges. Replace if any structural damage is found to maintain safe handling characteristics.
