Racing-Focused Rear Shock Tower for Sakura D5

The 3Racing SAK-D556/GO Graphite Rear Shock Tower is engineered to provide a firmer, lighter rear mounting point for competitive Sakura D5 chassis setups. Its graphite panel reduces parasitic flex, allowing suspension changes to translate directly to handling differences on track.

Performance and Setup Notes

With the SAK-D556/GO, teams will notice reduced chassis flex under cornering loads, which makes damping and anti-roll adjustments more predictable. Use the tower to dial rear roll stiffness and pairing it with progressive springs can refine mid-corner balance.

Installation and Fitment Considerations

Manufactured to precise Sakura D5 tolerances, this tower installs using standard fasteners. Confirm shock eyelet alignment after fitting and re-check screw torque after initial running to maintain consistent mounting tension.

How does this affect roll centre and balance?

The SAK-D556/GO alters rear flex characteristics without changing stock mounting geometry. Expect a marginally higher effective rear stiffness which can shift balance toward understeer unless compensated by front anti-roll or spring adjustments.

Recommended shock and spring pairing?

For circuit work start with your standard damping and reduce rear spring rate by one step to offset stiffer tower response. Fine tune rebound to avoid rear kick on throttle application.

Any special maintenance for graphite race parts?

Inspect for surface cracks after heavy impacts and keep mounting faces clean to preserve clamping accuracy. Replace if you detect delamination or edge fractures that could affect alignment under load.
