Can you describe the handling characteristics that you didn't like?

well at first i thought that the car was to (springy??)
meaning it was bouncing allover the place.
consequently my first thought was to make the shock oil heavier. but after finding the other thread. I feel i may have been mistaken and need to go the other way!.
also i didn't give much thought to center diff oil as they give you 7000 in the kit so same o same o i put it in now realizing that i should lighten it .
the car was lose at first chasing it all over the track . but this was poor tire choice so i changed tires and then it wouldn't turn at all on power
so i am going to run 5/5/2 instead of the traditional 5/7/1/
meaning it was bouncing allover the place.

Hmm, with that "springy" feel I would also think of going with thicker oil. I'm interested to know what you learn, keep us posted please.

i am going to try 5 in the center sat. at the races. i had 7 in it and i think it was to much for the tight corners on my track.
I ran 4/4/2 in my d8 and to my surprise i liked it so i will change the 6 tonight

I am running 5-5-2 in the diffs , 450 oil front and rear in my shocks, 2.75 rear toe and 2 degrees antisquat and my car is already pretty close to where I want it. The car has really good traction and very stable. Only thing I am still tuning on is the feel of the steering . The car turns in really hard but the mid to exit has more push than I would like. But other than that the car is awesome.

so i changed the diff fluid to 5/5/2 and it cornered a lot better
then i changer my shock oil to 400 in front and 300 in rear(didn't have any 350) and the car was a lot more settled. not bouncing around so much.
the other thing i found is the rear sway bar was to tight. with the new holders it is easy to tighten them down so they wont move. so i would suggest to check this on your assembly.
the only thing that i need to work on yet is exit corner speed. the car was either way lose and doing doughnuts or wouldn't turn on power at all. need to try to find a happy medium.
will post when i get it figure it out.
