Another trick you could try (i forgot about this myself) if you want to upgrade your shocks from standard is you can just buy the shock parts & convert your basic rat/monkey/macnum/hotrod/SCT kit shocks into pro adjustable's.
You need Ansmann part 125000465 for the front & 125000466 for the rear damper parts - each set costs about £20. You will also need a pack of the seals - part number 125000468 & of course the top eyelets 125000430, but for about £45-£50 you can turn your standard shocks into pro ones by ripping the guts out of your kit shocks & transplanting the option bits onto them, but for the sake of saving yourself a fiver, you may as well just buy the adjustable's in the 1st place or do what i did & buy the metal bodied shocks for less than a tenner & use them as donors to upgrade your plastic shocks to metal, at the end of the day all you are doing away with is the adjustment rings & faffing with c spacers to adjust the ride height.
However the thing i don't understand is you can buy touring car shocks in 2 formats, standard shocks with c spacers (Ansmann part 201000036) which are the same as the buggy shocks, just 55mm long instead of 75mm/85mm/95mm or they do adjustable 55mm ones (Ansmann part 201000018) for about £15 for all 4 corners, i really can't understand why they don't have the same option for the longer shocks.
