I emailed thetoyz.com about aluminum shocks that would work with the MegaPro and the pointed me to these:

I was able to install these shocks, but I could tell something wasn't quite right. After installing them the front of the car is lower then the back, and seems too low to the ground. Worse, everything seems to be so much stiffer. I tried driving it and it was a disaster. It was like driving on ice and the thing is ridiculously bouncy. I think part of the problem is that the front shocks are shorter then the stock ones. Is it possible to salvage this via some modification, or should I just bite the bullet and buy Megatech's aluminum shocks? I wanted these shocks because the entire shock is aluminum, not just the body. They also look great, but of course that's worthless if the car drives like crap.
