floodo1 mentioned it...A471, but you will need two of them for the whole car.

XrayFK, The original cyclone shock ends are not even round on the inside, so there isn't a ball that will fit!

Default Atsushi Hara & Andy Moore Body Shell

Does anyone for sure know what shell Atsushi Hara normally uses? I know he used the RI TSX body, and now I have read in forums that he was using a hotbodies stratus version? Others say he was using the Yokomo stratus E type body, like the one Masami Hirsosaka uses. Who knows the truth and nothing but the truth?

Default PRO 4 Shocks VS Cyclone Shocks

I am having trouble w/ the Cyclone shock caps. They keep on getting loose when trying to adjust the ride height. Never had these problems with the PRO 4 shocks and caps. Can I use my PRO 4 shocks on the Cyclone? Are they the same height/legth? Thanks...

Yep,you should be ok witht them,Most Cyclone drivers use the Pro Competion shocks fromt he hara Pro 4 anyway,

Just out of intrest have you tried a few drops of oil on the shock collars to loosen them when adjusting them? That will also help if you havent!

L8rs!

in a word ....yes...

problem with cyclone ones is they ae slighty deeper than pro 4.

used a rubber o ring from associated shocks in mine...no problem now
(put it ibside the shock cap above the shock mount)

Are the Pro4 shock caps the same way? Or the Hara versions (competition shocks)
