Kyosho Hard Front "MS" High Camber Mount Shock Tower
About this part
Reviews4.5 · 4 reviews
Beautiful option, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time that it requires taller shocks! That should be noted in the webpage description.
smooths out the aggressive steering inherent in the Tki4, does not take away steering but does slow the transitions = more front grip. i ended up going up to 2.5mm front sway as it does roll more and the package felt amazing. highly recommended for low grip

Can someone let me know.. what shocks is needed for the MS tower Is it 50mm shocks?
Reviewers generally rate this high camber tower highly, with two of four giving five stars and one giving three. One reviewer reports it smooths aggressive steering on a Tki4 and improves front grip on low-grip surfaces, using a 2.5mm front sway bar. The main recurring issue is that the tower requires taller MS-sized shocks, which one reviewer felt should be stated more clearly on the product page. Another reviewer asked which shock length is needed, suggesting the requirement is not obvious. The 5-star review describing a matched package also reads like pasted catalogue text, so it adds little owner experience.

- + Improves front grip on low-grip surfaces
- + Package felt good with 2.5mm front sway bar
