jsinclair,
I suggest you go to the attached link and read about the MO3. The shocks built this way will also work on the MO5.

ZEe_NYC,
I use 4mm of internal spacers on normal TC shocks for getting the car lower. The shocks need to be around 55-56mm in length. I forgot to add I only use the Tamiya short springs on my shocks.
Regards,
Calvin.
