mini ste shock setup

I'm currently have my ste setup with e-maxx shocks in the rear and the rear stock shocks in the front. I've tried the jato shocks in the front, but I don't really like these. Now I was wondering in buying the slash big bore aluminum shocks and mounting these on the truck. I'll also be getting mike's 17mm adapters and running 1/8 buggy wheels.

Any thoughts on the slash shock kit for the mini ste?
