And could I offset the stiffer spring by running a slightly lighter oil in the rear like 20wt or 22.5 wt? I mostly run on a dusty outdoor dirt track.
If you have OFNA springs your trying, the ofna yellow are in between the AE black and silver. Plenty of ride height with the yellow but tey are softer than the white for your traction issues.

A shipment of 10x1.1 pistons was on its way to Associated last week. They should be back in the pipeline very soon.

What's the consensus on internal limiting with the blue towers and big bores? I seem to remember most people running no internal limiting in the front, and 1mm in the rear. Is that the ticket?

Thanks!

Is any drilling required to mount these up? Or do they just bolt right in?

No drilling needed. They have little clamps that hold them on. They are super lite weight and do an awesome job of holding the guard in place.
