High Precision Aluminum Shock Tower for the Serpent Cobra

The Serpent 600285 Aluminum Shock Tower brings a robust upgrade to Cobra models, manufactured in 7075 T6 aircraft-grade aluminium. At 5.5mm thick, this rear tower balances toughness with a compact profile suited to track and club running.

Built for Tuning and Weight Savings

Careful machining reduces mass to roughly 31 grams through recessed areas and chamfered edges while keeping structural integrity. Multiple mounting holes let you tweak shock angles and camber to refine handling without cutting or drilling.

Direct Fit Instead of Carbon Parts

Designed as a direct swap for the carbon tower, this aluminium piece increases strength with minimal impact on overall weight. It is practical for racers who want repeatable handling and less flex under load.

Specifications

  • Material: 7075 T6 Aluminum
  • Thickness: 5.5mm
  • Weight: 31 grams
  • Compatibility: Serpent Cobra

A pragmatic upgrade for drivers seeking a tougher rear tower that still keeps the car nimble and easy to tune.

In most cases you can reuse the original mounting hardware. Inspect threads and replace any worn screws to avoid stripping aluminium fastenings.
Aluminium adds rigidity which can improve durability under repeated loads, but it can transfer impact forces differently than carbon. Check mounts after heavy impacts.
No trimming should be necessary since mounting locations match the original carbon design. Verify your shock length and link angles after installation.
You may need to fine tune spring rates and damper settings because the stiffer tower alters roll and flex characteristics. Make small adjustments and test lap times or feel.
