I have a 417, and an evo-6, 5400 mini shocks and the mini big bores at home.
I guess I can take one of each apart and measure the shafts and bodies if that would help anyone.
Actually in the options page (p.27) of the manual it states the kit uses touring car length dampers, and if using mini length dampers they should be matched with 28mm long piston rods.



I guess I'm one that assumed it uses M-Chassis Dampers. When I was shopping for my FF03 I accidentally bought a set of M-Chassis aluminum dampers, and today when I picked up my M07 kit I bought a set of 42102 TRF Special Dampers intending to use them on the FF03. I guess I'll just extend the rods on the mini dampers
