If you want precise damping for drift rigs, the Yokomo Y2-S126TA SLF tapered piston is built for YD-2 series SLF big bore shocks. Created with input from TeamYOKOMO DRIFT riders, this piston modifies shock behavior depending on which way it is fitted.
The tapered piston design gives hobbyists a clear way to tweak handling. Fit the tapered side down for a softer rebound response, or flip it to soften compression, letting you tailor the car to different cornering styles and transition speeds.
With a diagonal slope in the piston holes, the Yokomo taper piston uses fluid flow to smooth normal movement while still delivering strong damping when gaps open. That keeps the car more consistent across sudden inputs during drifting.
The piston uses six 1.2mm holes to bias the shocks toward a gentler feel without starving the oil film. Using shock oil around #300 is a good starting point to keep oil between the O-ring and shaft and avoid cavitation.
