I also am having trouble with ride height and droop with the 6.2.

I had been using original RSD yellows front and back with my 6.1wc with great success and have gone to original RSD silvers to get something close, but it just feels too hard.

whats everyone else using ?

The springs too tall use a smaller spring

Edwin, the new springs should get you the ride height you want. However, I recommend cutting off about 1mm from the shock eyelets to get a wider range of adjustment. The eyelets are really just ball cups that were "kinda thrown" into the kit so that the spring cup does not hit the arm which was made too thick, however you still have a bit of space to play with.

Didn't had the time to go through much spring combinations on my 6.2, yet. So I am not sure if this chassis needs harder springs than its predecessor. On my 6.1 on medium to high carpet with rubber tires, I use RSD silver and softer like yellow and teal. Together with white anti-roll-bars I always get compliments on how flat the chassis stays in corners and how easygoing the car looks on track while still being fastest or in touch to the fastest guy(s).
So maybe it is not neccessary to go for harder springs or if the new flex characteristics demand for harder ones...

I guess I need to use the caliper to figure out what rsd pistons I got with my kit? I got it from a individual all brand new and they are blank

kevin seems to run thicker fluids right? i think im going to start with the rsd pistons/bladders and just the kit 40wt and see where its at.
