Re: Shock sizes
If you're getting the CF atlas towers the front is made to use the longer .89" shocks off a B4. Rear should be stock length RC10 - 1.32" with limiters on the shaft to shorten them up a tad...

Re: Shock sizes
Suspension is a matter of preference, I mean, there are many shocks out there that will fit or can be altered to fit your buggy. Suspension adjustment, is like, almost infinite. The three main ways to adjust a shock are by spring rate, compression rate, and dampenining rate. There are other things to do also to adjust the suspension system, like, mountining location, and any adjustments to your suspension system will effect roll, flex, droop, ride higthe, and c.o.g., but no matter how you alter your vehicle from its current state, it will surely perform differently. Where you run and how you run are impoortant things to factor in also.
How do you want to change your current susp. system?
