I fitted my 1.3mm 2 hole pistons to the front shocks last night.

Originally I'd been running fastrax 25wt oil which felt good and the car handled nicely with the kit 2 hole pistons. I did try 35wt to start with standard 2 hole, but the car was mega over damped...

So I went up to 35wt on the new pistons, but it doesn't feel enough and the front still feels quite bouncy. I did notice the ghea pistons are 0.02mm smaller than the kit plastic ones, but assumed the whole theory behind the tapered side was to let the oil go around the edge better 1 way than the other.

Should I go up to 40wt and see what that's like?

Unfortunately my .050 driver broke so I haven't been able to install the 1.3mm 3 hole pistons to the rear shocks yet which I would of filled with 30wt.
