Yokomo Y2-S116TA SLF Big Bore Shock Tapered Piston 6-Hole  [Y2-S116TA]

Optimize Your YD-2 Series Shocks with Yokomo's Tapered Piston

The Yokomo Y2-S116TA SLF Big Bore Shock Tapered Piston is a specialized component designed to enhance the performance of your YD-2 series shocks. Developed with input from TeamYOKOMO DRIFT members, this piston offers tunable damping characteristics that can be adjusted based on installation direction. With a tapered design and six precisely drilled holes, it provides flexibility for different driving conditions, particularly suited for drifting applications.

Enhanced Damping Control

The unique feature of this piston lies in its tapered surface, which allows for directional tuning. By installing the piston with the tapered side facing down, the shock becomes softer on the rebound, making it ideal for smooth transitions. Conversely, positioning the tapered side up results in softer compression, providing better control during aggressive maneuvers. This flexibility ensures optimal performance whether you're racing or fine-tuning your drift setup.

Fluid Dynamics for Improved Response

Engineered with sloped piston holes, the Yokomo Y2-S116TA leverages fluid dynamics to adapt to sudden shock inputs while maintaining smooth operation during normal use. This design minimizes disturbances and enhances stability when navigating uneven surfaces, ensuring your vehicle remains responsive and controlled.

Drift-Specific Design

In drifting, maintaining an appropriate oil film is crucial to prevent shock activation issues. The Y2-S116TA's six-hole configuration, coupled with the use of #300 shock oil, helps maintain the oil film, reducing the risk of performance degradation. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking precision and reliability in their drift setups.
