Hey guys. Havent been racing 2wd for too long and just trying to set-up my 210 for outdoor racing. I've always been a racer who prefers a slightly softer shock set-up. I find it more suited to my style. My current set up which i've completed tonight is 27.5wt in the front and 20 in the rear (may go up to 22.5wt in the back). This is a little softer than how most guys run and I need to know what are the signs of a car with suspension to soft? Would it roll over a lot more? It doesn't bottom out when dropped from a height either. If it helps I can usually do about 10 laps when the top guys do a 11-12 and I think I could edge another in with a better set up. Thanks guys.

What pistons and springs are you using ?
Are you running on astroturf ?

as a base setup for all tracks I run with the kit standard pistons front and rear, dark red springs up front and light green rear

30wt oil in the front and 27.5 in the back
