FG Sportsline short chassis setup

[Andy63]

sorry but i dont know the difference becuse we use original pistons.

I am sorry, but at a high speed track like that a softer setup should fit very well. Red springs may be to hard. U have to try some.

The oil gets hot and it gets easier for the pistons to move. The springs is that makes the ride hight, yes but some millimeters lower becuse of oil temp.

But depends how long you run. 10 minutes make almost no difference.

Andy, the shock oil does not control ride height, not even in hot days. You can even remove all the shock oil out of the shock and the car will still maintain the same ride height. Its the springs that determine the ride height. The shocks oil determines HOW FAST (speed) you want the shock to compress and rebound!!!!

i said so.

I guess the basic theories of racecar dynamics don't apply in Sweden. Andy, just because you "say so", doesn't make it right. No matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact that silicon shock oil DOES NOT get thinner when it's warm out. And on the off chance that it does get thinner in Sweden (???) it wouldn't change the fact that the oil has NOTHING to do with ride height. As LuisR correctly stated, if you drain the oil from the shocks, the ride height will remain the same because the SPRINGS control ride height. Not the oil.

I said so.
