I would like to add that after my last shock service which only included topping off my shocks and re-bleeding them i ended up bleeding them 3-4 times and after both my qualifiers i had no added rebound, basically they were the same as when i first blead them. Previously i was only bleeding them twice and that was leaving a little too much oil in the shocks for how little o-ring stiction there is causing a little bit of leakage and air displacing that oil that seeped out. That is my theory and i wasnt loosing an excess amount of oil before hand that would make me think there was a problem but after 1-2 runs the rebound was a tad excessive.

So in short make sure you bleed them more then twice. This above post was on my t4 with the big bores, since i have been focusing on it. I also should post a pic of how i have my shocks mounted in the rear with the shaved brace. I used a very thin 4-40 nut with the plastic shock cap bushings and just a 1mm shim on the bottom and i can almost get away with no shimming in the bottom but im using the sc10 4x4 rear link on my t4. i think the angle is ideal and a lot better then before and i think i can get away with zero shiming on my buggy when i get another set of plastic bushings.
