Thanks for your help!
Oh, ok, yeah youīre right! I actually use a mixture up front. We could get some calculations, like the wheel rate and suspension frequency, but itīd be hard to get the correct damping values provided by the dampers. What I did was to mix the dampers oil on the fly, I mean, I had the stock #1000 tamiya oil in the dampers. While testing the damping rate I kept adding a few drops of #10.000 until I felt it was set.

One other thing that came to my mind regarding Rebound, is that it can be adjusted to the moment you close the damperīs cap. To avoid light rebound, make sure that the damper is fully compressed when you screw in the damperīs cap.
