Blingin' 94mm Titanium Damper Plate System


I just replaced my PN multi length fiberglass disk damper system with a titanium one from atomic. Besides aesthetics, there's a reason why I replaced the PN piece. If you look at the lower picture, you can see the shaft that holds the disks, is positioned almost all the way to back of the hole. The atomic one on the other hand is positioned towards the center. This is because the PN disk damper is multi length so you can use the same disk damper system whether you run a 94 or 98mm wheelbase. The shaft lines up better on a 98mm wheelbase car though. The shaft on the PN damper was dented from hitting the fiberglass peice and made the rear suspension rough.

I also installed the Atomic Mini-Z MR-02 MM 2.8mm DPS Mount. The problem with disk dampers is it sits too low if you use the DPS mount that comes with it. Leaving the bottom spring compressed almost all the way and the top spring almost uncompressed.

I haven't tested the atomic disk damper system on the track yet but I can already tell this one is smoother than its already sanded PN counterpart. Can't wait to leave work tomorrow to test this out.
