Tuning-focused tower notes

The Yokomo YZ-017GW1 front shock tower is engineered as a 3.5mm graphite tuning part for Works'91 TeamSpec racers. It reduces unwanted flex at the shock tops and helps the suspension respond more predictably when you push for faster lap times.

At 3.5mm thickness the graphite gives a firmer mount without dramatically increasing weight, producing crisper shock feedback and better control through turn-in and mid-corner phases. The plate accepts the stock upper shock mounting patterns found on YZ-W91TS and YZ-W91, enabling direct replacement of the factory piece.

Fitment tips: mount the tower to the existing posts using the original screws. No extra hardware is typically required. Use the alternate upper mount holes and vary shock length or spring stiffness during test runs to find the setup that improves front bite 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.

How does this tower affect front-end roll behavior?

The added stiffness at the upper mounts reduces flex, which can tighten turn-in and slightly reduce overall roll under the same spring and damper settings.

Should I change spring rates after fitting YZ-017GW1?

You may prefer marginally softer springs up front to retain compliance, or try alternate upper mount holes to balance initial bite versus mid-corner support.

Will steering feel become more immediate?

Yes, increased top-end stiffness at the mounts often makes steering response feel more direct, improving driver confidence on precise tracks.

Any recommended start points for mount selection?

Begin with the stock upper hole and test one hole at a time; small changes will reveal effects on turn-in and mid-corner balance without confounding other variables.

Does the tower change recommended damper tuning?

Yes. The firmer mounting surface can allow slightly different damping to feel optimal—revisit rebound and compression settings after fitting and test progressively.
