RE: shock choice
the hpi aluminium shocks are the best adjustable alluminium shocks (so I've heard). I have integy msr4's with hpi shafts which is very goood strong but i would go for hpi's.

RE: shock choice
the new msr5's have titanium shafts which cost heaps to get new ones and they still bend more than hpi's shock shafts and you cant replace msr5 shock shafts which hpi's shafts cost the msr5's are 3.5mm (hpi 3mm) so if you get integy's get the msr4's and replace shafts with hpi's.

RE: shock choice
I still role with the stock shocks. I tried the HB threaded ones a while back but bent to many shafts to count so I switched back to stock.If I ever switch to alloy ones again I will probably go with the HPI ones but I just can't justify spending that kinda of money on something I don't need as of yet.
