Me too. In fact, you know they never test them for the cars. They just use the same pistons and springs rates on whatever car, buggy or truck they are for and just make the shocks longer or shorter. They usually have too much damping so use the pistons with the most holes (2 holes if I remember) and those springs are stiff! I had a set on my DF-03 and they were great at keeping the chassis off the ground but to tune the buggy for racing, I just couldn't find springs that worked. Tamiya, Kyosho, Associated springs were too narrow. Losi springs were slightly wide and much too long. I just went back to kit shocks with (I think) 1 hole in the front and 2 hole in the rear (Or might be the other way around too) with the Tamiya DF-03 spring set (black, gold, silver) and that worked well with the CVA plastic shocks.
