So I've been looking for the last year at new shocks for an 07 attak. It just has the standard coilovers with 7k miles on them. I found a set of fox floats 17.5"ctc I know stock is 16.5" has anyone tried changing to this setup? And if so how was the handling and ride performance afterwards.
Thanks to any and all for advice.

I have 17.5 Float X's on My Turbo Apex
They seem to be fine. I run the pressure around 50 PSI and A arms are just a little above horizontal.
I am running the rear suspension in the bottom hole of the rear bracket to raise it a little for stud clearance on the Turbo.
This Sled is an animal and a handful with all the power & the other "Fast" shocks I had on it were 17.5" as well so I can not compare the sled with both lenghts.
My Stock Apexis a 128" track with Fox Float 2's and it is more fun to drive in the tight & twisties than the 144" Turbo. I'm guessing most of the difference is the track, Extra weight of the turbo & maybe me worrying a little bit about all that power under my azz when riding it in the tight & Twisties.
