Does the deck change ride height or balance?

The graphite plate itself has minimal effect on overall ride height, though the added stiffness can alter balance slightly. Check setup and spring rates after fitting.

Is graphite brittle compared with aluminium?

Graphite is stiff and can chip if struck, but it is lighter than aluminium and offers a different failure mode. Regular inspections help catch any damage early.

Should I change other parts when fitting this deck?

Consider checking front suspension geometry and fastener lengths. In some cases tuning shocks, sway bars or roll centres will complement the added stiffness.

Any tips for protecting the graphite edges?

Avoid hard impacts and store the deck away from abrasive surfaces. If you run on rough terrain, inspect edges after sessions and replace the plate if you notice significant chipping.
