I have to say I would have agreed with you until I drove the two...

It is a huge difference between the two. The shocks were completely redone in a bigger bore with new O-rings, machined spacers and machined pistons and new springs. The vehicle comes with the upgrades you would want to run. The new caster blocks and spindles give a ton more steering and steering throw you need the new front arm to use those. The towers are taller to get the right up travel versus down travel which this car has a ton more of both. The chassis flex being what it is now is much better as well.

Just my .02 though.
