Well, I've found this shock-mounting style to work better than using separate shock towers (my old shocks were mounted in a similar way). It's lighter, gives a lower centre of gravity and provides very nearly as much travel as a normal shock tower setup. Also there's the cost. I had designed some towers (in a similar style to the chassis) which I was going to put into CAD and then get CNC-cut...and although this wouldn't be expensive (around £40 all told), money is pretty tight about now. :(

I'll see how the system performs, if the new shock layout cause issues then I might go to more conventional towers. :)
