They work a treat.
Echelon - I got rid of the stock shocks and put a set of the HongNor ( ofna ) 16mm Big Bore shocks with blue springs ( hard ), 45wgt oil all round and the 1.4 mm hole pistons.
I landed nose heavy off a jump last weekend and snapped off the front bumper ( not happy bout that ) I must of just got it on the right angle to do so as i never thought this could happen....lol Quite a few people heard it snap too .......lol
