Race-oriented lower shock caps for precise Sakura XI setups

The 3Racing SAK-X28B aluminium shock bottom caps are engineered to support repeatable suspension behaviour on the Sakura XI chassis. Fabricated from 7075 alloy, these caps increase lower-end stiffness and reduce deformation during high-load runs, helping maintain consistent damping characteristics across multiple runs. The four-piece pack enables full replacement of the stock shock bottoms for a controlled baseline in tune development.

Material and setup advantages

7075 alloy combines high tensile strength with modest weight, making it well suited to race parts where rigidity at the contact points matters. Using these caps helps preserve shock valving performance and reduces variation caused by softened OEM plastics under heat or stress.

Installation and tuning recommendations

Fitment to the Sakura XI shock assembly is straightforward. When installing, verify cap seating and inspect seal contact to prevent leaks. For tuning, re-evaluate spring and oil selection after installation to exploit the more stable lower-end platform during setup adjustments.

By stiffening the shock lower, these caps reduce flex that can mask true valving response, making damping changes more predictable during tuning.
Yes. After installation, recheck oil weight and spring rates as the improved lower stiffness can alter perceived damping and rebound characteristics.
They are beneficial where consistent shock response is needed lap after lap, such as on tight or technical circuits that demand repeatable handling.
They work with most aftermarket shock parts that match Sakura XI lower dimensions. Confirm fitment for shock retainers and lower mounting hardware before committing to a full upgrade.
