Improve Suspension Feel with Tamiya 53163 Springs

This Tamiya 53163 On-Road Touring Spring Set helps hobbyists refine the suspension on 1/10 scale touring and rally machines. It gives a straightforward way to adjust ride stiffness and balance, so your car handles better on smooth asphalt and mixed surfaces.

Performance Highlights

Works with many 1/10 scale Tamiya models, including popular cars such as the Toyota Celica GT-Four Rally and Skyline GT-R Nismo.
Spring wire thickness is 0.052 inches and overall length is 1.10 inches, providing consistent fit and repeatable behaviour.
Outer diameter 0.636 inches and inner diameter 0.526 inches to match common shock assemblies for easy installation.

Can I use these springs for club track racing?

Yes. The Tamiya 53163 springs suit club-level on-road racing when matched with the correct shock oil and preload. They help with turn-in and mid-corner stability.

Will they fit non-Tamiya shock bodies?

They are sized for standard Tamiya shock assemblies. You may be able to use them on other shocks if the inner diameter matches 0.526 inches, but check clearance first.

How should I pick front versus rear springs?

Start with stock settings and change one end at a time. Use the 0.052 inch wire springs as a baseline, then experiment with preload and shock oil to balance understeer and oversteer.
