Yokomo SD-018GC3 SSG Graphite Rear Tower for Drift Conversion  [SD-018GC3]

Role and construction of the SSG rear tower

Manufactured in SS graphite, this rear shock tower is intended for the SSG conversion applied in drift packages and serves as an aftermarket upgrade to the stock rear tower. The part provides the structural mounting points for the rear shock absorbers and contributes to increased stiffness in the rear subframe used on RC drift chassis.

Installation is performed as part of the SSG conversion and typically replaces the original rear tower that comes with the conversion kit. Because it is graphite, the component aims to retain minimal weight while offering greater rigidity, and it integrates using the conversion kit's existing mounting scheme. Always verify mounting alignment and clearances during installation to maintain the designed suspension geometry.

When tuning, a firmer rear tower modifies how the suspension copes with sideways loads, improving the stability of shock positions and affecting roll and traction transitions during drift maneuvers. Choose this part when you want reliable rear mounting points and a measurable change in rear stiffness for drift-oriented setups.
