Yokomo SD-018GC3 - Rear Graphite Shock Tower for SSG  [SD-018GC3]

Overview of the SSG rear shock tower

The SS graphite rear shock tower is intended for the SSG conversion used in drift packages and acts as an aftermarket rear tower replacement. It serves as the anchoring point for rear shock absorbers and adds stiffness to the rear subframe in RC drift chassis configurations.

Fitting this component is part of the SSG conversion workflow and it typically replaces the stock rear tower supplied with the conversion kit. Being graphite, the part aims to sustain low weight while improving rigidity, and it installs using the conversion kit's existing mounting arrangement. Confirm mounting alignment and check clearances during installation to preserve the original suspension geometry.

On the setup side, increasing rear tower stiffness modifies suspension reaction to lateral forces, helping to stabilise shock positions and affecting body roll and traction changeover during drift driving. Use this tower when consistent rear mounting and a predictable shift in rear stiffness are required for drift chassis tuning.
