My new ones where 4 x 1.0 and I just used a 55 drill bit which is 1.3mm. You could get the 1.0 and use a 56 or 57 drill bil to get 1.2mm or 1.1mm if you wanted to. Mine are Durango tapered pistons. I know Great Planes has them in stock so Tower should have them as well. They also make 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 x 4

I think the general consensus is: if you are running on dirt/clay, remove the droop screws and grind off the droop pads from the front bulkhead. Use internal limiters and measure overall length, match shock lengths using the shock end to fine tune length.
If you run on carpet, turf, or cork, use the droop screws.

nismomike taking 2mm of droop out of the front did help a good amount. Got me even closer to where I wanted to be with such a little change. At least I know that change is just like my touring car would do. Thanks again. Did add a fan to my LRP Flow and put 4 little vent holes in the body and now the speedo dropped about 45 degrees in temp so now that and motor are runnin lower temps with plenty of rip.
Now I will put the alum steering rack on and aluminum servo horn and thats it for tonight.
