so I got my second m05 in the mail yesterday, and I'm converting it into a rally car
This is what I got to do so
- m05ra f parts (51425)
- shocks off my tt01
- longer 5mm ball ends (57714)
- skid plate (51426)
- 60d rally block tires(51427)

The reason I went with tt-01 shocks is because they added a significant amount of ground clearance, and still allow for full compression. I'm not sure the part number on what I'm currently using, because I have no idea what shocks they actually are. I got the tt01 used, and they were already on it and worked fine. they look like cva minis with the aluminum cap from the trf shocks. from center to center, they measure 57mm.
With the shocks though, my rear ride height was a lot higher than the front, so I moved the rear uprights on the lower holes, and have the fronts on the top holes to even it out.

sorry for any blurry pictures, I can try to take better ones if anyone wants.

this is a rear view to show the difference between the two. On the right is the shock from my tt01, and the left is a cva super mini


the left side is the tt01 shock, right is cva super mini


Here's the full compression of the tt01 shock


versus the full compression of the cva super mini
