its not necessarily a bad thing but i can't see why you'd replace the decent kyosho shocks with something that looks obviously inferior and to go back in time & fit the 17 degree front end defies logic

the new steering geometry was the maiin selling point of the K2 & K3 so why would you want to swap back to the earlier less caster version?
strange

I threw the 17 degree on there just to test it out, curious what the difference was, I normally run the 20's, and yes I have a surplus of used 7.5 parts laying around that I bought as a lot from Ebay. Shocks are GPM. Bought them because they have threaded bodies, and work just as well as the stock shocks, again just wanted to test them. They were only $40, so if they were $hit I was going to chuck them. BTW, check all the pics, I was running silvers for a while because the first set of blues faded quick and got all scratched up and looked like cr4p, but switched back just recently because my LHS had a set in stock (rare for them). Anyway, thanks for your concern.
