Default More 22 help needed and a BIG thanks

well last Thursday was my 2nd visit to DMS weekly meet. i had a great blast and with my much improved car enjoyed myself....so a huge thanks to John, Freddy and many others who had given me advice..

Now i would like to talk about shocks....i am still lacking in steering (understeer). i have changed my springs as advised from last time. set up my Camber, Caster and Toe. it was put to me that i should look at the pistons? so what should pistons would work best? front and rear. i run Yellow springs on the rear and Blue on the fronts. 45 oil in the shox.


suggestions please....

45 oil in the shod seems a little heavy to me

I'd be looking at 27.5 in the rears and either 30 or 35 up front

I'd have to look at my car in the morning for what springs where but happy to do so for you

i have 55 pistons fitted. Originally had 27.5 oil at the rear with Yellow springs and was sitting way to high?

will put lighter oil in the fronts as suggested....
