The MT10 should have come with these stock. They are a massive improvement over stock, and are extremely well made and durable.
NOPE! These arrived in a factory sealed bag, and were manufactured so poorly that they looked used. Not made in Taiwan, but instead made in China, and it REALLY shows. I'm truly surprised that Team associated would sell something so poorly made. Also, functionally, there is zero difference between these and the plastic ones. I was expecting an improvement, but honestly they feel precisely the same. It's likely that they are tougher, but if they are finished on the inside, like they are finished on the outside, they're completely not worth it. After I installed the front shocks I decided to return the rears since the bag was still sealed. Don't do it guys. Spend your money on a different upgrade.
These metal shocks failed on the very first use, while the original plastic ones held up much longer. They're not worth the cost if they break this easily.
Very disappointed! Purchased because my original plastic ones broke on the bottom. These did the same. Should be aluminum on the bottom also.
Reviewers are divided on this aluminum front shock kit. One verified owner rated it highly, calling it a major upgrade over stock with good build quality and durability. Other reviewers, including verified owners, rated it poorly, with two reporting failures: one shock failed on first use, and another reports the bottom broke as with the original plastic parts, suggesting the bottom is not aluminum. One reviewer found the shocks feel functionally no different from plastic and described poor finish quality, questioning manufacturing quality. Reviewers also disagree on whether the metal construction is worth the cost. Sample size is small.
