There are a ton of TRF shocks from which to make your choice. The 54000 and the 84318 were specifically released for the Mini. They were designated as Mini shocks cause they had 2mm shorter bodies.

My personal preference is for the TRF TC shocks cause they have longer shock bodies, thus contain a larger volume of oil. I've had several sets of the Mini shocks and I've never really liked them. In fact have purchased longer shock bodies and threw the short ones away. They work just fine now.

This may be true cause I run the M03 and haven't spent a lot of time with the 05. They do set up a little different in my experience.
