I converted a TRF801 to GT. I designed my own shock towers with assistance of SNRScion.

Other option would be to use front towers all around.

You can use the front buggy dampers at all four corners. However, You will need to use firmer spring rates for a road going car.. Which can be hard to come by.. So you might just want to get the Ofna DM-1 / Kyosho iGT shocks and springs.
