Yes... They donīt cost that much i think, but they worth it!

Not yet! I hope i will have time for it this weekend, will let you know how it handles compared to the 1,1mm pistons with 2 o-rings and 500# oil! ;-)

The T-Shox really are starting to interest me.

Did you test them with the T-Springs and the Yokomo springs? I really like how the Yokomo feels with blue/pink, but I've been spoiled by not having to rebuild shocks so often. I'd be willing to pay the price of T-Shox just for that. If they're more consistent, even better.

The only thing I miss about my x ray was never having to build shocks.

How you guys getting the lower grub screw on the bottom of the shocks to screw into the ball....I have the grub screw already in the arm ..I'm placing the shock bottom up against the grub screw ...reverse threading then forward threading into the arm ..correct?

Trying out the 3x1.0 with 450. So far not a fan. I think it'd be better with a thinner oil.

The car is almost getting boring to be honest it's so good.

You just email then the part numbers you need. It's weird, but it works just fine.

Trying out a rebound hole in the shock cap today. They built smooth as butter with absolutely zero rebound.

Has anyone tried running diff fluid lighter than 900? Anytime I've tried I've hated the way the car felt.
