One thing to consider with the plastic body shocks is thermal expansion- the plastic bodies are very susceptible to hot and cold and thus shrinkage and expansion. This can cause you to chase your set up from morning to noon to night as the shock body diameter changes therefore causing different dampening effects.... Alloy bodies are a must be it Xray or Tamiya shocks.
