Graphite Shock Tower Description for BD9

This graphite front shock tower is manufactured as a replacement part for BD9-style front assemblies and is chosen for its material properties. It provides a stiff upper mount for the front shocks and helps control front-end deflection when driving aggressively or under load.

By moving stiffness into the front end, the part can affect turn-in behaviour and mid-corner balance on compatible touring car chassis. Graphite is valued for combining rigidity with light weight, which helps preserve quick steering response without adding unsprung mass.

Durability advice: inspect mounting holes after heavy impacts and check for hairline cracks during routine maintenance. When swapping from a plastic tower, re-evaluate damper settings and front springs to re-establish the desired handling 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 graphite compare to plastic for crash resistance?

Graphite is stiffer than many plastics and can transfer load differently during impacts. It may resist permanent deformation but inspect regularly for small cracks and replace if any structural damage appears.

Will a graphite tower require different setup intervals?

You may want to check mounting points and shock eyelet clearance more frequently after high-load sessions, especially following collisions, to ensure continued safe performance.
