Cool 3 racing shock kits!

Where can I order some 3 racing shock kits? I couldn't find and the model number or part number for the 18R...

I hear they are better to use casue they are shorter...? I need to set my ride height at 4mm to 4.5 mm

Thanks....

Jeremy

I don't know if they are any shorter, but they will by far be an improvement over the stock shocks. I have been running them with my 18T since they first came out and they are butter smooth. You will not be disappointed. If you need them to be shorter, just use limiters inside of your shock body. Just be careful as you do want some up travel. If you are not currently running the Exotek chassis for your 18R, I also highly recommend that as well.

These shocks are great and cheap enough to just purchase a new set when needed.They come prebuilt with oil and really soft black springs,good if you want to race with your stock rubber on low grip surface.I'm running 30wt in mine with stock ae blues with the stock spring retainers cause the blue springs will create a higher ride height than you want with the taller spring retainers that the 3racing ones come with.Also,i had to use 18t shock shafts with mine with a small spacer on the inside to equal out droop.The shafts that came with the 3racing 18r shocks made the rear of my 18r sit to low.
