I'm looking at ditching the stck friction 'shocks' on my M-03 and I was thinking maybe some Associated RC18B shocks might do the trick-Has anyone tried this,or know the measurements of the RC18B shocks?
Or another option,besides the Tamiya mini CVA's?
I don't use my Mini a whole lot,but man those poor excuses for shocks HAVE to go!
I had some 3 Racing shocks on there,but they didn't really fit as good as I would have liked them to.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Re: M-03 Mini Cooper Shocks
I got mine on ebay, to my understanding there a no name brand, I bought them for $20.00 about a year ago there aluminum threaded body's anodized blue with chrome retainers and (anodized red,blue), and (yellow painted) springs, for different spring presser, it come with all necessary hardware to install them. I found them under 50mm shocks, they work really good on my M03, my car use to power slide all the time now it handles considering it has a 9tX2. Here are some pix of the shock set up, hope this helps.......
