Love the shocks on this car. Very easily to build and silky smooth.

I feel a right idiot now, I didn't spot the bit saying use a drill, and totally destroyed my kit screws trying to get them in, oops!!

Oh well, lesson learned, and glad the droop isn't a problem!

I love the metal shock top bushing by the way, I'd have thought they are much easier than the usual plastic ones!?
