Front Shock Tower: Tuning Effects on BD9

This graphite front shock tower is a replacement part for BD9-derived front assemblies and is intended to influence suspension characteristics during tuning. It gives a firm upper shock mount that changes the front-end flex profile when you alter setup settings.

When installed on compatible touring car chassis, the tower shifts stiffness to the front and can sharpen turn-in or alter mid-corner grip depending on springs and damper settings. Many tuners choose graphite to stiffen the front without adding significant weight.

Setup pointers: after fitting, try modest increases to front spring rate or slightly firmer damping to compensate for the added stiffness. Always confirm eyelet clearance and hole alignment before final tightening to avoid binding during suspension travel.

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.

What tuning changes work well when using graphite?

Start with small increases to front spring stiffness or slightly firmer rebound to balance the firmer front end. Test one change at a time to evaluate handling differences clearly.

Does graphite affect lap time potential?

Graphite can improve steering precision and turn-in, which may lower lap times if paired with appropriate damper and spring settings. Results depend on track layout and overall setup.
