I'm almost finished modernizing my CC-01 Wrangler and upgrading for steering and realism. I only have shocks left to do. And I'm stuck.

I've ordered 4 different shocks from scamazon and eScam. All four sets leaked oil or had horrible build quality.

I was looking around and feel this is the best option: Tamiya CC-01 Aluminum Oil Damper 4PCS. However, these are only 60mm and I need 80mm to fit my wheels/tires and provide proper aesthetics.

I see these: https://www.amazon.com/GDS-Racing-Pe...ustomerReviews

But I'm not sure if I'm going to have the same issues as the other 4 orders. Everything on Ebay and Amazon seem to be made by the same terrible Chinese factory that doesn't have any real quality control.

Can I get recommendations on quality shocks? Preferably black, red, or gold.

Edit: Is there a way to build my own to specific suspension? I see some parts like this https://www.rcmart.com/tamiya-m-chas...42134-00027910 and https://www.rcmart.com/overdose-alum...d2499-00077848. Looking for that diaphragm that goes inside and 80mm rods.
