Can someone give me a rundown of the different shock lengths

Post by call-911 »

Can someone school me in the different shock lengths and what cars they were for? .71, .89, ???? I'm doing a Siebenslammer and wondering which front shock/mount combo I should be looking at. I have a pair of stock B3 front shocks already, but not sure if I should go with something longer.

If you have the standard rc10 shock towers, then .71 front shock bodies and .71 shafts are stock sizes. B3 shocks are .89 bodies and .71 shafts. You might not get the right amount up travel unless you've got a taller front tower. For the rear, 1.32 shock bodies and 1.02 shafts. Don't use shorter bodies in the rear to try and get more up travel, the driveshafts will slam into the out drives and get all chewed up or become bent. Sometimes just landing too hard off a jump will do the same :x
