I have the same problem. But I have been enjoying my CRC and haven't got the time to fix the VBC shock.
The CRC shock, with extension, should fit. You just need to play with the shock lengths.

I see that people recommend the team prime shock. I'm curious if any other options fit the vbc12? It looks like the ae 12r5 shock would fit.
And the CRC shock would fit with the extension piece?
Thanks for any shock suggestions!
