hi
if you have suffered with your SV2 flipping up side down after landing a jump you need to set up you shock absorbers so that the piston rod is pushed out from fully being compressed to fully extended by 3/4 of the stroke.
this I have found sorts this out, I tried the heavy duty diaphragm seals in the shock this was better than the standard ones, but what I found best was to set the shocks up without the diaphragm, this can be done by cutting the diaphragm seal so to use only the o ring seal or to use the new emulsion caps.
No one seems to mention this setting in any set ups or very well in the build manual as to it's importance, as a consequence it has taken me a long time to discover how much better the SV2 is with it.
as a note I am running the rest of the car as standard, springs, pistons and no additional weights at all.
