Typhon Front right wheel assembly busted, trying to determine exact product IDs

[ThaneVim]

I first turned to the exploded view, but I'm having doubts that I'm looking at the correct thing. Attached are images of the breakages, in the front suspension arms and the shock attachment, leaving the front right shock dangling from the wheel. Based on what the exploded view shows, I need the front suspension arms (ARA330543) obviously, but: it then says that the "crowns" atop the composite front shock tower (ARAC4400) are actually included in the body mount set front (ARAC3496).

They look correct, but it's throwing me off for two reasons that have me hesitant to press buy:

1. It's in a set with the top cover mounts, which are considerably further back on the body, not at all attached to the front shock tower, and
2. I can't see the bottoms of the "crowns" on the product page, and mine have rods the suspension would attach to (shown in the pictures, albeit busted)

What is busted under the shock tower is the upper shock hinge itself, it's one piece, so you will need to replace the whole shock.

IF you are located in the USA, then I would highly suggest you look at JennysRC.com ,he has the cheapest prices for Arrma OEM parts.. usually in complete sets, instead of just pairs.

Sadly, it seems they're out of the shocks for my 3S. Would ARA330550 (Shock Set, Front (2)) [sans spring] for $19 be too much of a hassle to get my existing spring in place on? Do you have any idea on if JennysRC will restock the shocks? I did at least put in a request to be notified...

Double check your shock lengths..
(Most of the 3S lineup have parts that's interchangeable.. Only difference are the lengths..)

So, these may work >>

So it looks like the length is different between the models.

If I were to get these, and replace all the shocks (or even, just the front?), would this have any impact beyond just increasing ride height? Edit: To further clarify, even if "just" increasing ride height, would doing so have a negative ride performance impact, like a severe change in center of gravity?
