Remark :

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.

Does this tower reduce flex at the front?

Yes, compared with plastic towers the aluminum MD-017 lowers chassis flex at the shock mounts, which helps maintain more consistent steering under load.

Is any extra hardware required to fit it?

The tower uses standard MD1.0 mounting holes. Keep original screws where possible, but verify thread engagement and replace stripped fasteners before use.

Will the change affect shock travel?

Shock travel remains the same but the firmer mount can change the feel of rebound and compression. Re-tune damping if you notice different response.

Can I pair this with aftermarket shocks?

Yes, the MD-017 works with common MD1.0 shock setups. When fitting different shocks, check mounting heights and spring rates to retain desired handling.
