I'm in Orange County with all the AE folks at our tracks. I heard springs will be about $8 a pair.

Do they use the same lower shock ends?

New shock shafts... Can you even buy them? Won't we need shorter ones for our B44(.1)s (in addition to the shock tower)?

This release creates more questions than it answers...

The B44 uses same shaft sizes / lengths as a B4. I have both cars. Note the part numbers even reflect these work with both cars.

They look nice.....BUT......until new shock towers are available, I'll pass. No way I'm spending $100-120 per car for factory parts, that I have to 'make' fit.

All I've heard from my local racers is that they are a better fit than the PL or JC hex adapters.

No thanks I'll pass....I'll stick to BB springs and V2 shocks.

I'd rather spend my money on tires and track time....!!!!

One less mistake on the track and I probaly made up the small advantage of these Big Bore shocks.

I don't see the 22 killing the B4.1 just because it has BB shocks so why should this be any different.


Tires and track time will always out way any hop-up part in my book.

How are they a better fit? I have the PL and they fit fine...actually I have a set of the JC as well, I'll have to see how they fit.
