Update!
Mine split on the front lower ball stud!! after a crash and tbh it wasn`t one of my worst but it split the carbon... think i`ll stick with stock Ordered the rears on 29th and still waiting should be ok the rear`s as the wing protects them and TRF501 shocks fit apparently better(Thanks for the update Jonathan!)

I have ordered a front one to try. I have in mind that sooner or later I will split it, but carbon looks cool in the car.
I think that the front tower gets most of the hits in the DB01. But as I am using now the centre one way and the car behaves as a 2wd, it seems that seems things are changing..Anyway, those cheap plastic towers are the best option for me, as I am not a good driver and jumps are not easy where I run.

I did this to both the front and rear Atomic Carbon shock towers. I have crashed and flipped many times.. Both towers are as solid as a rock.

Front Tower
Has anyone noticed that the top mounting holes on the front tower are actually lower than the stock tower? I didn't notice until I compared the two on top of each other. Well, I actually only noticed when the chassis would not bottom out - I installed the newer HL shock bodies, used 4mm spacers inside the shocks & saw that the buggy bottomed out on the lower spring collars, and the chassis still sat around 1 cm above the table! The difference between the holes of the towers is maybe 2mm, but once on the buggy it made a huge difference. So I've switcvhed back to the stock tower.
There might be enough room to drill one or two new holes above the stock hole locations - I may try it, the part is not much use to me otherwise. FYI - I'm racing on carpet indoors. Maybe it's not as noticeable on dirt where more travel is used? Comments?

I used to use one of these on my DB01, the extra droop was very useful, but agreed, indoors on carpet it might not be too handy.
I think the lowered shock tower was with the kit shocks in mind, which were arguably too short and didn't give enough droop. I ran the lowered shock tower and the TRF shocks with success.
