M2C 3080 shock tower stand off kit upgrade
Review: The shocks hold up the weight of the vehicle and these stand offs are how the shocks attach to the shock towers. A lot of stress comes through these stand offs. These are thicker than the EXB standoffs and made from hardened steel, would be very surprised if these break.
Fitment: Perfect. However, you need to drill the shock tower mounting holes for the larger stand-offs. So if you aren't happy drilling your brand new shiny parts these are not for you.
I like the upgrade, but don't think it's necessary unless you break your stock standoffs.
Part Weights:
EXB shock standoff: 6.2 gr
M2C shock standoff: 7.8 gr
Additional weight: 6.4 gr
Comparison:
EXB standoff
M2C Standoff
Body Reinforcement Basher Mod
This actually added a surprising amount of weight and is probably not worth it. Even for a basher. Bodies aren't cheap, but this isn't cheap either, and I don't think I will go as extreme next time. Next time I will just put some foam for the shock towers and maybe just some tape around the perimeter.
Current weight: 248 gr
Do me a favor and weight a stock talion body and let me know the weight!
