Did you tighten your top nut and bottom screw way tight to where theres no play within the shock? This will cause the shock to bind and feel sort of resistant, basically your defeating the purpose of the shock.

you don't need to, but if you read on here, you can see what it do's for you:

Dismount the shocks, an feel the arms if there free, try to if the arms are free then there's something wrong with the shocks, there could be flaching on the piston, yourf hat bushings could be inside out causing stiction.

I finally looked at the box I think on Towers website is where I thought they were included. I wouldn't have used them any way just would have given them away. Thanks for the reply.

So, i run the Durango dex410v3. I must say it is a plush kit and handles like no other. Up until i drove a friends b44.2. Huge difference in the car. First off, the b44.2 is much lighter (Rango is a tank compared to b44.2) and combined with the bb shocks...extremely plush. The overall layout under the hood makes tuning and replacement easy. The carbon chassis and top plate make the car extremely stiff...the Durango has way too much flex IMHO. Im sure there are many other differences to the Durango but i must say, the B44.2 has me wanting to sell my Durango.

Some flex is preferred by many, depending on the surface.
Somebody let me borrow their 44.2 so I can do a side-by-side w/ my SX3
.
BTW, watched that youtube clip of the lipo fire in the new 44.2
. As tempting as it is, I never charged my saddles (or any Lipo in any car) in my daughter's B44, just too risky IMO!

As far as the stiff shock thing, its the shock oil they tell you to run out of the box, the 35wt with 1.7 pistons feels like you are running diff fluid in your shocks, i would probably start with 32.5 out of the box with the 1.7 pistons.
Thats what they actually say to run on the starting sheet they give you if you buy the big bores for your b44.1
