Mugen 5R Shocks are 13MM bore right?

Fastlane GraphiX · 04-19-2008, 09:39 PM

yessir

J-Dub · 04-20-2008, 12:35 AM

I found these while browsing though it might be interesting to try:

[FIO-OT-UR154] Fioroni Dual Action Ergal Shock Pistons (13mm OD, 1.4mm x 2) (4) Fits CL-1, Mugen, Jammin, TTR

Fastlane GraphiX · 04-20-2008, 06:40 AM

IMO those are a waste of money, just use the 1.5 pistons with 400/400 and you should be pretty close.

J-Dub · 04-20-2008, 10:39 AM

Very True. I just thought they looked cool.

Czech-it-Out Graphics · 04-20-2008, 11:05 AM

you knew the GS was the best car ever too didnt you..

J-Dub · 04-20-2008, 05:09 PM

Lol. Mike you crack me up.

What do you think? Variable pistons would be kinda sweet.

Fastlane GraphiX · 04-21-2008, 05:59 AM

Mike, I'ma slap you if you ever put down the baby oil, quit pulling your pud and leave that hole of a place you call your room.

LOL cmon chadly, being sponsored is what its about right?!

I dunno I think the stockers are more than fine, dont like the idea of aluminum shock pistons, metal on metal like that. If you really wanna upgrade your shocks get the jammin BB's

Fastlane GraphiX · 04-22-2008, 06:19 AM

man, as it hurts me to say it, I agree with the long haired lil douche.

J-Dub · 04-22-2008, 08:29 AM

It's got an oring. The stockers do work great though.

I'll prolly just stick with those, I dont have the extra coin for those 180 buck big bores. >_<

cheesecake · 04-22-2008, 09:33 AM

the jammin super big bores shouldn't cost you 180 dollars

J-Dub · 04-22-2008, 10:30 AM

They are like 150 for the set of Shocks, 15 bucks for springs, you figure im going to need a whole bottle of shock oil. another 6 bucks.170, 180 plus tax.

edit: I guess they are 61 a set on Amain. so like 160 total I guess.

cheesecake · 04-22-2008, 10:59 AM

you can find a full set on ebay brand new for 80

J-Dub · 04-22-2008, 11:35 AM

true. maybe i'll try. I dunno I like the way the stock ones handle though.

after a gallon of runtime my fluid was still clear when I changed it.

Czech-it-Out Graphics · 04-22-2008, 05:26 PM

ebay is ur a friend, be a retard to pay 150 bucks lol

J-Dub · 04-23-2008, 08:26 AM

I dont like have to watch auctions, or deal with shipping from a private seller. It's all unreliabile when I want it NOW.

Ponch · 04-23-2008, 01:16 PM

J-Dub · 04-23-2008, 01:19 PM

Lol. :P we'll see after I get some coin.

Opliko · 04-23-2008, 01:26 PM

J-Dub · 04-23-2008, 03:31 PM
