What shaft size change improves durability?

The shaft was upgraded from 5.2mm to 7.0mm to increase stiffness and reduce bending under load, improving service life in demanding use.

How should I approach damping setup for racing?

Start with the supplied springs and adjust spring preload for ride height, then use the red screw to alter negative pressure response; test in short sessions and refine oil viscosity as needed.

Are replacement parts available from GPM?

Replacement components such as seals and springs can be sourced through authorised GPM distributors; contact your supplier for part availability and service guidance.
