Are you going to make a pack that will include all sizes?

[Wraggy]

quite possibly as there are enough sizes to make a pack up with like we do with the associated 8th scale ones.
will put it to Ghea for you and hopefully we can do something in the very near future.

thanks

Used them in mine yesterday to TQ the EoE Regional, car felt really good over the bumps

[Adam Skelding]

I ran the pistons in the same set-up as JohnM posted.

I ran a the piston set-up back to back with my existing shocks in practice at the RHR national.
Same oil, same holes just Ghea vs Standard.
The difference was noticable, mainly down the straight. The GHEA pistons 'return' faster than standard ones making the car 'float' over the bumps a bit better.
The jumps at RHR weren't so severe and in your face so there was no noticeable difference there. Both pistons had time to work there way back to full droop.

Can I ask what shock oil you are using in the front and rear with the ghea pistons. Cheers.

[JohnM]

I used the same Much More 400cst front, 300cst rear that I've been using for months now, car felt alot better then it had the week before.

Cheers for that, I will give it a try.

Hi everyone!!

I just received these pistons and I can't wait to try them.
But I have a question. The taper side goes face up as you open the shock or the opposite??Or it doesn't have any difference how you install it??

Thanx

[steelie600]

taper to the top will result in less compression damping (pack) and taper to the bottom will result in less rebound damping. Most people will have the taper to the bottom.

Thanx man for the information

Anyone has tried its derlin inserts too? I want to try but few friends of mine told me that it's a bit tight to fit into the supsension holders which made the arms not moving smoothly. It supposes to be like this or any suggestions to solve this problem.

[Northy]

The delrin inserts are a perfect fit, I'm using them on my car.

Ghea pistons and derlin inserts work fine in my durango. It is for sure a good purchase.

Hi,did you all leave your washer on the the shock shaft,i ask because the durango pistons have a cut out for the washer to sit flush in the piston,the Ghea ones dont,this makes the piston sit higher,it also upsest the oil flow around the hole because it is wider than the base of the piston,this takes away the full use of the cone shape,
