good advice, that gives me a lot to work with this weekend. i will start with long thin fiberglass flex plates, light rear damping, gold rear spring and .022 front BMI springs, and small 2xpink tires,

i am curious if/when the stiffer settings (front and rear combined) are ever reccomended? it sounds like never? instead only use a stiffness increase at the front or rear for balance, leaving the overall suspension as compliant as possible.
