Race-focused front shock tower with precise mounting geometry

The 3Racing SAK-D518 front shock tower is produced for the Sakura D5 Lite chassis to provide a dimensionally accurate upgrade for competitive tuning. Its consistent hole spacing and reinforced layout support repeatable setup adjustments session to session.

Enhanced torsional rigidity for predictable behaviour

The tower's design increases torsional stiffness at the front bulkhead, reducing unwanted deflection under lateral loads. This yields more predictable steering inputs and steadier mid-corner balance.

Mounting options to refine handling balance

Multiple upper mount positions allow precise changes to roll centre and shock leverage, so technicians can tune understeer and transient response with minimal other setup changes.

Direct fit installation for minimal chassis modification

Manufactured to match Sakura D5 Lite attachment points, the SAK-D518 installs using standard hardware and preserves original serviceability for quick trackside swaps.

How does this tower affect roll centre?

Using higher or lower upper shock mounts alters instantaneous roll centre and roll stiffness; small changes can shift balance between front and rear without changing springs.

Is reinforcement needed at the mount points?

The SAK-D518 is designed to work without additional chassis reinforcement, but inspect screw engagement and surrounding bulkhead for wear when running aggressive setups.

Recommended checks after installation?

Verify alignment, torque fasteners to spec, and perform a test run to confirm shock travel and clearance. Recheck after the first few sessions.
