From what I have heard the lt 160 shock's are a direct replacement. The eton 50,70,90 shocks are also a direct fit, I have had them measured for me. The cheap way to loosen up the front shock's is to swap your front tires from side to side. This puts the valve stem on the inside and increases front track width approx 4". That will put more leverage on front shock's and soften them right up. I have done this to my wifes 150. Big improvement. Also the price is right, FREE.

Oh yeah.... I think I can get fronts and the rear....Is it a easy swap? Do you think it will be taller? Is your 150 taller in the back with the CR80 shock?
MWQ - Check out the stock suspension on this Kazuma/Redcat 150> http://www.racewayatv.com/Kazuma-RFX-150.php That looks much better than stock Yamoto. Same Loncin engine but a much better, thought out suspension. I like the double A-Arm design too. I would of gone with that one if I would of known about it. What do you think?

The front shocks will work with no height change. As for the rear I have no idea. My wifes Yamoto sit's at stock height, although there is some suspension settling when you sit on it now . about 1/2" or so. The cr 80 shock was 4" longer than stock and only uses the stock top mount now.

I inverted the front wheels to widen the front + increase front shock travel and it seems to work. Thanks for the tip.
How long is the CR80 shock from eyelet to eyelet? How long is the stock Yamoto shock? The suspension must be much better now without that stiff stock shock? Can you take whoops now without feeling like you're straddling a 2X4 piece of wood?
