well i rebuilt my shocks using the trackstar o-rings. Thay are super smooth and do not leak anymore, but the rear end is so bouncy. I have the blue springs, stock pistons with 30wt oil. It just bucks and kicks up alot. Not very fun to drive. There is a rythm section that if you get tossed around on its not a pretty sight. Any suggestions?

Try 1.3 pistons with 37.5 or 40wt

Build the shocks emulsion style.

25wt with 1.2 pistons is not the same as 37.5 with 1.3 pistons. it sounds like you have too much pack.

Make SURE they have no rebound when you build them. Lower your ride height & possibly try white springs if blues are too stiff. You can also lean your shocks in on the tower.

thanks man. I will give it a shot. There are a couple other guys that have these and they are dialed. Different setups work for different drivers
