RB5 big bores on FS2?

[sime46]

As above. Can I use them are are the lengths wrong?

[rcpower]

I did use them with good results, you can always adjust length by installing different length eyelets or tops...

You need to change the top cap to the short ones (provided on the kit) or you will lack uptravel. Everything else is identical, unless you use the NGC arms that need longer (medium) shock bottoms.

Great. Thanks guys. That's saved me £100ish then.

That is unless you want to run with the tower mounts raised in which case you may want the longer tops and/ or different bottoms can also be used. Depends on your set up and what your trying to achieve.

You wouldn't want to run with the towers raised further than I do (1.75mm) as the higher the more flex in the joint.
I run short caps & standard rod ends front, medium rear with the law43 rear end.

Some, I have a spare set of LAW43 rear parts if you need them

Si just sell a kidney,sounds easyer

I'm on the law43 rear end already so that's cool. I'm seeing that most current setups are on the BB shocks and my only set are on my vega. I'm experimenting with my FS2 at the mo trying to get the right feeling from it. It's on small bores and its been pretty good thus far. I'm going to Worksop with it and want it to be pretty safe as the surface is slippery. My experience from last year with an FS/SP was that the rear would break away unpredictably without warning when the car was pushed harder. That put me off to the point where I sold it and went back to my 410. I'm back now with an FS2 non SP and don't want to find the same scary handling trait showing me up again. Lol. I've gone onto ncg rear end and so far it seems really good. I've not raced on truly low grip yet tho. All advise(if its relevant) is gratefully recieved. I'm gonna motor down to a 7.5 to calm it through the twistys but I can add some boost for the straight.
