Street Cred
The name suichuuka actually breaks down to "water," "inside," and "flower," representing a style that originated over thirty years ago when enthusiasts first threw dried flowers inside resin. While it was originally the signature look for dekotora truck drivers, it has become a staple in the drift and stance communities. It’s the perfect sleeper modification that tells everyone at the meet you know your tuning history. This 10cm version provides the ideal leverage for manual hooning without feeling like a bus shifter.

Tuner's Secret
"When installing your new suichuuka, always hand-tighten the brass adapters first to ensure zero-play. Using a thread locker can keep things tight during aggressive dori sessions, but don't over-torque it or you'll crack that clean acrylic finish."
