The G4S shock would fit so would most other makes ,just take note of shock lengths.

Shock Mount Positions

Moving the bottom of the shock along the suspension arm basically affects the stiffness and droop of the suspension. Moving the shock mount further out results in a suspension that appears both stiffer (sprung) and harder (dampened). Conversely, moving the shock inward gives a softer feel.
The reason for this is simple. The easiest way to explain this is to think back to the playground seesaw of your childhood. When the people on either end don’t weigh the same, by simply moving the heavier person closer to the center the seesaw can be made to balance. It’s just a question of leverage. As the shock moves out along the arm, it can bring greater leverage to bear on the suspension arm. Moving the bottom of the shock along the arm also affects the suspension droop further out equals less droop, further in equals more droop.

Moving the top of the shock absorber has a more subtle effect on the car’s suspension. What is changing here is the angle of action of the shock absorber. Changing the angle makes the shock absorber more or less progressive. A progressive suspension setup is when the suspension
becomes stiffer as the shock/spring/suspension is compressed.

Leaning the shock absorber over further results in a more progressive suspension. This is useful in landing off jumps (helps stop the car from bottoming out), handling on smooth tracks, and handling in high-speed corners.

Standing the shocks straighter helps in rough conditions, or with tracks with lots of quick changes of direction. Adding interest to this setup option is the fact that standing the shocks up gives some degree of anti-roll effect while laying the shocks down encourages, or allows, more chassis roll. The
shock angle you choose can thus be closely related to the use of an anti-roll bar.

whats the trick with the front G4S SWAYBAR, mine seems a little Clunky and stiff as the arms on the front go up and down....!

Any real tips for this set up?

Hey Kodak,
The sway bar can be difficult sometimes. I had some difficulty with mine.
With the new G4s. The sway bar has two adjusters. Point these to the outside while you install the sway bar mounts. These are used for fine adjustments of the set up of the sway bar once your at the "Car set up" stage.
By the sound of it you've probably got some kind of binding when the front arm's move.
Try leaving the actual bar out until you get the arm's to move freely once the mount's are installed. I had to put a small shim between the mounts and the arm's. You could try this.
By leaving the arms out you will be able to see what is binding.
I hope this helps.
