[QUOTE=anthony390]umm i have i big problem for a long time now and i was wondering if anybody is having problems with the droop and the shock oils being just right

maybe i should just rebuild my shocks and reset my droop...do you guys think i should do that?

i would start there.make sure when you set your droop the shocks are off so you get a good setting

quick question.

In the setup sheets there is something called "limiters" under the shock section. What are "limiters"?? Are they refering to o-rings??

Thanks,

Gareth

I think the limiters are used to adjust the droop in the TC3's that dont have the updated arms.

I'm not sure how important the foam is, but if it's there, it's gotta be for something. I just built some new shocks and I used the foams.

It's such a pain rebuilding shocks. The way these shocks are built, you get spillage from the oil in the cap. Then when you're done screwing the tops on, the rebound isn't the same on all the shocks and you have to try adjusting the amount of oil inside until they rebound at approximately the same speed. I wonder if bladders can be used with these shocks. Wouldn't that eliminate the problem of having different rebound in your shocks?

Composite shocks? I didn't know you had the racer kit. I've got two extra threaded shock bodies if you want them. The problem is that one of them is missing the ring that you adjust. I don't know how the original owner managed to lose that piece. I don't know if you can buy that part seperately. If you can get those two shocks going, you at least have two less shocks to worry about leaking...

can anyone suggest a good body to run at socal?

Looking at the stratus 3.0...

Previously ran an S2000 for kicks, but I know it was a hinderance.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Yokomo bladder caps are a direct fit for TC3 shocks.

Never run at SoCal but the Dodge3 is a great all-rounder. Put one on my car middle of this year and it hasn’t come off!
