Thinking about buying a JATO 3.3
#12
I've had a Jato, I never really had problems with the front end, but the rear shock tower gave me problems all the time. Every time I'd jump it I'd have tgo swap it. Got to be very annoying.

And you can't really get the aluminum shock towers because the aluminum shock towers mount to the plastic rear diff/trans case. So instead of breaking a easily replaceable shock tower, you break a trans case.

If you want pure speed, the Jato is the way to go. But remember that even though its fast as hell, it still only has rear brakes and getting a ST to haul down from 60+ is a chore.
