Suggest going back to standard piston.
Go 37.5w Ae oil front
32.5w Ae oil rear
Will try and go a bit lower and see how it goes. It did seem 23mm was a bit high as compared to the few that seemed to bet turning quick lap times. Going to give the rcs two stage pistons a fair shake in these trials but would you still suggest a thicker oil anyway?

I typically run as soft of a compound as my wallet affords... the softer the compound, the quicker you'll be replacing tires but typically gives the best traction. Keep in mind that super soft compounds with large thin knobs can feel a bit squirrly until they are run down a bit. You could also try adding some camber to the rear, which will help in the corners, but make it worse on the straight... which is why I didn't mention initially because you said you were having problems there as well. I wouldn't go more than a 3mm difference in ride height between front and rear, but play within those boundaries and you should be fine.
Yeah definitely gonna try softer compound as one of my first changes. I can see how one may like the rear to run loose and have that as part of your driving style, I think my setup is just too loose. Noted on the camber, don't think I can go more than the -1 I have now as it is already a handful on the straight

Definitely will give it a shot, seems like a few have this same opinion
