I tried the stock shocks, there seemed okay, not great, but okay. My hobby shop is trying to source 501x parts but like yourself am having problems getting (in my case) shock bodies. So for now I went with the DF03 units. They're a bit better. Indeed the droop in the rear is huge. To help with the droop/weight transfer I added 3mm front and 5mm rear spacer under the pistons - for my carpet setup. The front and rear arms are level with the driveshaft just above. Overall the rear arms will hang some 7-8mm from this resting point. Car is starting to handle a lot better as the rear feels more and more planted. SO
