Hey guys, check this out, this is what ive been running the past few weeks on carpet/17.5 blinky, and its been working awesome for me. I did put in the new bladders for today with the same setup and it was very very good.

The Website is down 
Godaddy, who is our current web host made some change on the server side and now our cart will not talk to the database. They claim nothing is wrong. BS.
They literally told me that it was "magic" that caused it. They said all things break and that our website just broke, just like when cars break down. Our site was not touched on our end and my a friend of mine, who is the greatest programmer alive that I know, said it is not possible. Some setting had to be changed on the server side. There is no way around it. He spent all day trying to make it work and it did not.
With that, we are already working on a new site, a hosted solution which is already up and functional, but not very populated yet.
By tonight, I'll have the RSD line up again. The domain will be different for the next couple of days while the server change propagates. In the meantime, you can stop by and see the progress at:
http://reflex-sd.3dcartstores.com/
If I am and continue to be MIA, is because I am on this in deep basement, no shower till I finish mode...
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Got my bladders in the mail today, and used that as an excuse to crack open my shocks and install the new bladders and the 1,1,1.5 pistons that I've had laying around. WOW, buttery smooth and zero rebound with a 1mm hole drilled in the shock cap. Can't wait to get this thing back on the track and see how it handles.

Tom, below is our "standard" set-up for our track. It is a shorter track, but it runs big and has pretty high grip. I have handed down this set-up to all the TC6 owners at the track and they all have improved by at least a lap on their 6 minute runs:
Front:
-1,1,1.5 Piston 550cst oil
-15.5lb spring
-Outside link on tower caps (shorter) 3mm underneath the inside link, 2mm outside
-3A Roll center blocks
-4 Deg Caster
-Shocks 1 hole out on shock tower
-6 on droop
-5mm ride height
-Slipper Spool tight
-Black sway bar
Rear
-1,1,1.5 Piston 450cst oil
-13.5lb spring
-Outside link on tower caps 2mm underneath inside, 3mm outside
-3A Roll center blocks
-shocks 2 holes out on shock tower
-4 on droop
-5.5 mm ride height
-Gear diff 700cst oil
-2.5 inboard toe 1 deg toe hub (if you are not running toe in hubs, 3 degs inboard is enough toe)
-Black sway bar
The set-up is super consistent and fast week in-week out. I like that I have not had to change it in a long time. To adjust your roll stiffness (i.e. if it leans to hard) you can remove shims from the inside camber link locations for minute adjustments. If it is not enough, I change my spring rate by 1lb before I change my shock angles (since changing angles affects damping as well as spring rate).

Mike, I will try to get that to you as soon as possible, but I am swamped wit the new site launch, since it had to be kind-of on-the-fly.
With that, the store is LIVE and Taking orders. All the RSD Products are available for purchase again.
Thanks for your patience and understanding guys!

TC6 Shock cap holes, 1mm
*** I just realized that these are pictures of a TC5 shock cap. Sorry about that, I'll get pictures of the TC6 caps shortly! (too many different cars on the bench at one time) ***

Here you go http://www.racerlog.com/w/images/9/94/CT_standard.pdf
CT will have to fill you in on the missing stuff, id guess camber is something like 1.5F/2R or 2/2 or something like that, front toe is probably .5 out, and wheelbase is probably the kit setting as well, but only he knows for sure

Finally installed my RSD options on my TC6 shocks and I must say, I'm very impressed. I had no issue with the stock bladders, But these feel very nice indeed. I'm not sure when you would want zero rebound, unless there was ridiculous bite. I built mine with about 30% rebound, Looking forward to trying them this weekend.
