Default Help with 1/8th front CVA lengths

I'm trying to find front cva's to use in my Caster EX1 that are a little shorter. I've heard MBX5 ones are but they cost some absurd amount. I'm wondering if anyone has any lengths of CVA's so I can find the right option.

Ofna Hyper? Losi 8ight? RC8? or any other ones?

Why do you need shorter ones? You should have 89mm pin to pin cva's now. Any shorter and I can't see it working.

Sorry just asking so I can help

Thanks for the help guys. I've converted my EX-1 to a short course and need to narrow the front end. The rear wasn't an issue because there was tubing I removed and the dog bone is fine lengthwise.

The front has to be reduced by about 3-4mm per side, that's why I'm looking for shorter CVA's. From what I have heard, MBX5 CVA's will work but they're pretty expensive so I'm looking for other alternatives.
