B4 with Losi shocks.

Any comments and pics etc. as considering removing the threaded shocks on my B4

Works and fits perfectly, but you can't use the JConcepts front spoiler with the Losi shocks, especially not when they are set on the inside position on the front shocktower. You'll have to make one like these: http://picasaweb.google.be/bnkoffroa...74417662950754

Some say Losi shocks take some 'sharpness' out of the car and make it a bit smoother, but haven't tested the difference myself. I use them on my B4 and S2 and they work great.

You should be able to....since we favour Losi shocks on the X6 quite a bit and use the JConcepts spoiler all the time on the front and the X-Factory car of course uses the whole B4 front end. We dont have any issues with certain mounting holes fouling.

So what part numbers are required and do AE springs fit? I remember my Losi XX shocks being good.

Ok thanks I'll price it up, but was hoping they sold them as a complete pack. I assume we are talking circa £50
