    I remember reading a post on these but cannot find it now.

    They are 50mm center to center. What is the length of the stockers?

    RTFM: 47.75mm

    So a little long but for $23, why not? It may not matter given the size of the vehicles but on-road cars aren't designed for high-impact hits so these could fail under heavy jumping or rough terrain. Another to consider is diameter. They may be too thick to fit.

    You mean as opposed the the plastic shocks it comes with?

    These are fine, in fact, they've been posted at a functional alternative on this forum before:

    Go for it!!! I am using them permanently in the front now. They work good in the rear too, but I prefer the Quad shock setup as you can see in the TC Shocks on MERV thread.

    All you need is the New Era Racing Shock Leveling Brace...


    So, the front setup :


    Rear setup :


    Compare to the normal size MERV shock :


    Let us know how you like them.

    Edit : ... and this seller is reliable too.
