Cwoods - Glad to hear you guys decieded to go with the Serpent, I knew you would like it.

PS, I agree with the last posts sometimes laying the shocks down feels better at first then as the race does on develops into a more loose condition and standing them up locks it in more.
Removing the screw in the top deck helps a ton, look for my eariler post about using a set screw so that you dont have a issue with stripping a spur ( i know some dont have a issue ) I've lately really liked the one piece mount with the top deck cut in half right where that screw does. I don't think I would change it back.
Still running the TC6, too...... Serpent for 17.5, TC6 for mod/asphalt! Love both of them too much

The 3.5* rear block may help. Try long links front and rear.... it help smooth the whole car out. Perhaps the setup is just to twitchy for your driving style?... I also had luck with running more droop in the front (2-2.5) than the rear, which I've never done with any other vehicle.
