Theres metal shock upgrades and upgrades for the shock proof plate, it all depends on how much you want to spend on it, all four shocks will run you about $40.00, which I have a set of four for $25.00 there used but in good shape, the reason im selling them because I converted my buggy into a Tsunami, here are a few sites where you can get upgrades and parts.
