Default Cen MT shocks

I have a GST 7.7 pre ordered and cant wait for it to be released

But I've never seen a genesis up close and personal other than pics on the net.. So I have a few questions..

Are the piggy back shocks plastic?

How do they hold up?

Are the aluminum shocks that CEN offers any better than the stockers?

Can you fit the dust boots on the stock shocks?

Thanks in advance!

Fantomas--Yes the shock bodies are plastic. I think they hold up very well. I have seen the aluminum shocks bend and bend due to the unforgiving nature of the aluminum, plastic flexes enough to give. I have not tested a set myself but I do intend on trying them some time soon...Yes the dust boots do fit the the stock shocks but I recommend using small zip ties to hold them on better at the shock body.

I have a Nemesis with aluminum GPM suspension parts as well as many other hop-ups and mods.. They are holding up well to some very hard bashing/testing. I can post some pics if you would like to see them.

And another project I'm working on...I have acouple more but......

I'm waiting on a header pipe from an XTM that I am going to modify to work with this muffler

This exhaust has three chambers with internal baffle plates that, according to my calculation should create better top end flow and more low end power

I have some Savage Integy alum shocks on mine. They hold up well, but like dog says, the shafts are more prone to bending than wtih the plastic shocks. Plus, the CEN shocks actually have a 2mm bigger diameter than the alum integys.
