To Fred or any of the other big-guns in this thread:
I've managed to find a great spring balance with as similar a shock angle as possible. After racing today, the back end is bouncing when I punch it down the straight, and feels like it donkey-kicks a bit coming off of jumps. The rest of the car in almost all other areas of the track feels great. I just need to calm down the rear a bit.
Inside the rear shocks are the #2 Associated pistons, as well as 27.5wt oil. I originally started tuning with 35 weight oil and stepped down in 2.5 increments. In my head, I'm thinking I need to put in the piston with the larger holes and stick with the 27.5wt. I know you're supposed to compensate for the larger diameter holes with heavier oil, but the behavior of the rear end can be pretty dramatic.
The question is, would this calm down the rear by increasing the rebound rate and reducing the amount of pack when going off a jump? If I'm wrong PLEASE correct me.
