I do have some tips on shocks. 1st build you lose oil to the O-ring resivoir as the rings will swell and oil fills the area around the spacer between them. I like to soak my rings a day ahead, the factory drivers at our track use the old white spacer claiming smoother better plush feel and seal. Prime the O-ring area with oil real well to. Slime is fine but I prefer using the oil of choice. Presoaking the ring gets you a more broke in feel asap. Hope this helps. I'm running the V-2 shocks and this method works well on the old ones as well but you have to have the bleeder caps to fully benifit a good shock performance.
