I'm building the shocks right now and the supplied bottle of 500 (cst I presume) is only about a 3rd full. I doubt I have enough to fill all four. I have some 35wt, but I'm thinking that will be a little light (I used the 3-hole pistons). Should I get some 40wt to start just to be on the safe side? I don't want to have to take the shocks apart to change pistons. I'll be running outdoors on asphalt set up VTA.

I bought a set of droop plates to keep the screws from digging into the chassis, but am starting to wonder if they're really necessary and if they'll hurt more than help. With them installed and the screws backed out, the arms sit level. Should I bother? I haven't run TC in 20 years and the TA-02 I had didn't even have droop adjustability.

And, does anyone have a spare rear body post? One of mine was missing from the box/bag/tree.
