With shock oil the higher the weight is the thicker the oil (eg 90wt is thicker than 40wt).

Hi Mark.
Ive done a search on these ghea pistons and found them from the same place as you got yous i think(previous link).
I have not built the shocks yet Question are the pistion in the kit not as good then???and it it well worth buying a set or 2?
Cheers Leon

Hi mate,

the kit pistons are absolutely fine but you will prob need to drill them depending on what surface your racing on. I use standard Durango 2 hole pistons up front, drilled to 1.3mm and 3 hole pistons in the rear drilled to 1.3mm.

The GHEA pistons are tapered which means they rebound quicker. This helps on tracks with ruts and loads of small bumps as the shock rebounds quicker. This keeps the wheels on the ground ready to soak up the next bump.

There not essential but a good tuning option.

Craig
