oh ya the shocks have all those spacers on them because the spring where too short for the shock body.the shock would fully extend and the spring wouldnt even touch the end. while i was at my fahs (far away hobby shop) i was about to buy a set of rear tires and noticed that one package had two rear tires but one was glued on a front rim.[:-]
they are really tryin to get these little parts and hop ups out arent they. it was pretty funny.
