My current shocks are tired. Need to be rebuilt, so thinking about this kit instead.
My concern is the stiffest available front spring for these shocks, which is rated at 4.1. There are times I run on sugar and use the purple front SCTE spring, which is rated at 4.5. So not sure if this will work.
Whatcha think?
The losi pro's seem to all do really well with them on some high grip tracks, and everyone pretty much agrees of the superiority of the 22 shock vs stock, so I would probably go ahead with the conversion and run a thicker oil with VRP pistons. Those bring you a 20% quicker rebound, so it would be the same as running a stiffer spring with those in thicker oil, which would negate the return delay. Something to think about.
