Practical Effects on Setup

Fitting this 2.0mm graphite upper deck helps tighten steering feel and reduces chassis movement, which can make suspension tuning more predictable for race sessions.

Do I need special screws to fit this deck?

You can normally use the original fasteners; check that screw length clears other components and avoid excessive torque on graphite surfaces.

Will this make the car more nervous on rough tracks?

A stiffer deck can transfer more input to the suspension; on bumpy layouts you may need softer damping or ride height changes to retain composure.

Is this part race legal for club classes?

Rules vary by club and class; confirm with event regulations, but this deck is a common aftermarket upgrade used by competitive drivers.
