Umm, they dont exist as an official part....
So I think that sort of answers that question.

The HPI Honda S2000 is for 190mm chassis. They have a Civic body for the M03 chassis.

Not entirely sure what the theory behind it is, but it works.

If you're trying that many different settings then you're over complicating things.
Its either a single spacer (equiv to 3 o-rings) or none at all. Doesnt matter which shock you're using really.
The 'no o-ring' setup doesnt work everywhere, or for everyone, but its certainly a legitimate set-up and worth trying.

The mega droop setting seems to work well for low to medium grip tracks but requires a smooth racing line, it doesnt seem to work as well for more aggressive style driving.
We have also had a lot of success with no droop, and really hard springs (22-24lbs) it really makes the front tyres work very hard.
We dont run on carpet here unfortunately and none of our tracks are really high grip so it will be fairly different on carpet I would say.
Also one thing I tend to run and seems to work for me is about 1mm ride height, I have found that the chassis doesnt realy scrape very much at all and with the lowered ride height you get more camber on the front wheels which seems to give it much more steering. Makes it great in the tight twisty sections.

Hi Glenn,
Sydney has a lot of shops where you can get Tamiya stuff and other related Mini gear (Check out Racing Lines Mag for some addresses etc) but I'd be lying if I said that our stuff was purchased locally.
We get most of our mini gear from Rainbow Ten , rc-champ ([email protected]) or rc-mart . It just depends who's got what we want at the time.
The Sports Sedan body? I assume you're talking about the Chevron Monster M body. Sadly no-one has them at the moment. They're rather hard to come by.
