It was pretty decent on some broken in gravity tires warmed at 150* for 20 min. It was a new layout so grip was lower than usual.

Have a set of the CRC premounts on the way.

Saturday is race day but Sunday I'll be able to get a good practice day in with the track grooved in. Want to play around with pod droop because with the stock shock length at 63.5mm and a pod height of 4.6mm I have 1.4mm of droop.

Any ETA when 310167 will be available in the US store. Running on a medium grip grey CRC carpet track without a subfloor and a few bumps so I'd like to try the extended shock.

Very soon.. by the weekend
As an alt.. I'd recommend you just look at either drilling the piston or running a lighter oil

I've only been able to successfully run the kit/soft spring

I think if grip is low, or the track is filled with tight 180 turns then the transverse is good.

I've only run inline so far on black crc carpet
