[QUOTE=JamieDaugherty;209006]An RC51 shock won't work because not only is not the correct length it's also got a WAY too light spring and valving. There isn't anything that just bolts on, sorry. I know, I sometimes find myself searching for that holy grail part from something else that you can buy for $20, is a direct bolt-on and has the performance and features of aftermarket shock. However, when I return to reality I find that it takes a little bit more work than that.[/QUOTE]

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Re: Sp1/sp2 rear shock
Quite a lot, and the linkage ratios are also very different, so the shock wouldn't work well without an awful lot of cutting and shutting.
Stick it back on Ebay....

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
