   can someone recommend some good rear shocks with links if possible that will be fine for 70mm? i have looked but dont really say what ride hight they will withstand. im using gmax at the moment and lets just say there not the best. i have a budget of around 160 max, thanks

   I use Spax VSX with 80mm, tough ride, but it's expected at that height.

   mines a tough ride at the moment aswel my shocks are slighty compressed at stand still does that mean they are shit and arent shortened?

   No slightly compressed is ok, think about it. The weight of the car will cause the suspension to sag slightly
