They fit directly on and are the smoothest best working shocks I have ever seen. It took me exactly 4mins to fill with oil and assemble 4 shocks with no air bubbles and exactly the same rebound. They are just awesome."
Any questions about these shocks just ask!

Are you usingthe Serpent or Xray ball ends?
How are you securing the shocks to the car?
Whave you tried running the Serpent shocks with foam tires? Any rubbing? Any problems getting to ride-height?

Guys,
There is nothing wrong with the stock shocks. If you take care of them , perform regular maint. and set them up right there is no need to go and spend more money on other brand of shocks. I ran my stock plastic shocks for 3 months and did not have a leak, the oil was still very clear and acting smooth.
Why all this discussion on changing things, just drive it.
The factory guys run the stock plastic shocks at the nationals, Reedy Race and everywhere, so there is nothing wrong with the stock shocks.

I agree. My FK05 worked very well with the stock shocks this past weekend. I don't pretend to know something that the factory guy's don't, I just like to tinker. Come to think of it, that's why I replaced the stock chassis with the BMI kit and why I have a set of those Serpent shocks.
