Yep. I know how. Don't get me wrong. I really love the way my 808 drove everywhere else on the track but I was just never able to solve the riddle with the shock/suspension setup. Either handling great everywhere except an imperfect landing and getting bounced or stiff enought to land cosistently and not so good everywhere else, especially any rough spots.

Went though it all and like others have said the most sucess came from replacement of the shocks with another brand. But still cant quite get it to be as consistent as my mugen is now. It's like a wet towel. Just sticks to the track everywhere. For someone with skills and hits every downside perfectly it's probably not an issue. But even the top team guys run shocks from other brands so I can't be the only one.
