Front Towers

[nitromike]

What's the advantage of using an Enforcer front tower on an Intimidator? I've seen a couple of drivers with them and was wondering in what conditions you would want to use one. Thanks.

NitroMike: Some people have tried using the Enforcer GSX front tower on their Int GSX's to help make the car drive a bit tighter when running the Eldora bodies on them. The Enf tower mounts the shocks straight up and down so you need to use much softer springs than you would see someone running with the stock Int tower where the shocks are mounted on an angle. Basically the more you lean the shocks over from vertical, the softer the spring seems to be. The only other difference you may see with using the Enf tower is that changing the shock collar one turn tends to do far less than one turn with the harder spring set-up on the stock Int GSX. I have seen each set-up succeed, I prefer the stock set-up and if you need stability try a sway bar first. If you need a good Int set-up check out customworksrc.com

Hope this helps

Back in the day, We did it solely for looks on the EDM's(we called'em open wheel modifieds here in the South back then). If you look on the CW website and look at the picture for the narrow probe body, You'll see what I mean. The exposed upright shocks just looked more realistic.
