If your oil is too thick, it will hinder the springs and pistons from giving you the lift you want off the jumps

Go lighter with the oil and put white spring on and let it drag on the face of the jumb and landing will be smoooooth. Next you want to get it to turn in better. Stay tuned....

Ifg the oil is too thick it will hinder the spring rate..You dont need us to tell you..go to your track with 3 different spring sets and 4-5 different weights and experiment for yourself to see what you like best..It all comes down to what you like and how you drive
