Default shocking shock

hey all, my first post here and i think im doing this right. But however i own a thunder tiger phoenix (Which is an associate b3) Which i have been using for carpet racing, but the shocks are way to high and to soft, so i want to replace the whole shock and piston, Anyway someone told the ae b4 shocks would fit but told me to ask here, I Want the front spring to be around 3-4cm and the rear spring to be around 4-5cm, and i need it to be quite stiff, it needs to be good for carpet racing. thanks for reading.

dont bother changing the shocks, just put spacers on the shaft inside to restrict the downward movement, i used 4mm front and rear on carpet in rc10b2, cant remember what pistons but i used 40wt front and 30wt rear oil, pretty much same as outdoor, used front springs on rear and cut down front springs on front, pretty sure they were all associated silver. just lower it, it may well become unpredictable if you harden it too much, mine was kept soft after experimenting simply because it was more predictable
