Keep your old shocks on standby though. I've just changed to the LWB, but was told by some at the last micro meet I went to that they had major trouble finding the right setup with the big shocks before getting it right, that's mainly why I'm not getting them yet.

i was thinking the same to, just as i got the swb set up on big bores lol now i fort as i just got the lwb,i may as well treat myself to the the shocks,then i can just try set the thing up all together, but its thrown me from top 2 in club to mid fieldnow

PS where can i get some SLDMODELS stickers, seen some on cars and they look funky?

Just to add I ran the Big Bore Shocks ( and top deck ) for one run on my LWB Shark and took them off straight away. I didn't like them one bit. Last year I ran standard shocks and no Top Deck and finished 2nd in the BRCA National Champs
