Hi,
So happy with Durango think its an amazing car!
But need some help with shock oil and diff oil for high grip carpet medium to short course. Im not an aggressive drive and like a neutral handling car.
Thought about 35 front and 40 rear but not sure!
What about the diff oil never had to do this before!
Cheers
Oli

This is the setup-I have run at Taplow and my car was on rails.

I used:
10k Front Diff
5k Rear Diff
Plastic side rails-Got a R version
I have not changed the setup since.. and run it on Astro the same Minus camber tweaks depending on grip levels ect. Hope this is of slight help

I used Xray Fluids mate..
I like a fairly aggressive setup, so maybe add a touch more camber and maybe long wheelbase.. but it should help to give a good reference point. Most other carpet setups use Roll Bar, but craig's does not and I cant justify £30 on 1!

Olli, the Hiro Seiko diff oils are very good, great value and very consistent too, I can bring some along on Thursday for you if you wish......
