I am going to build the 'dirt car' up to your set ups as you seem to get much more 'dirt time' than us!
Can I ask for your latest set up so that us UK guys can use it as a base??
We have also created intechdrivers.com feel free to have a look around and if you want to have a profile page and site access to post set ups, pictures and advice drop us an email at

Thanks,
Matt.
Here is my setup with a few changes:
What I changed is this:
Tapered 1.25 x 6 pistons
750/400
Unscrewed shock ends 2.5 turns
Front upper outer hole on tower, inner on arm
Rear upper outer hole on tower, outer on arm
Full down travel front&rear
600002-1 convex bladders
Black/Purple dot front progressive spring, Black/Red dot rear progressive spring
27/28 ride height
I tried a bunch of different springs and liked that the best but I still need to test more (only had a few hours of practice). I like the way 1.4 wire springs feel, so that is why I did not use the 1.5 Purple springs. The 1.4 progressive springs seem to feel softer at first, then get stiff as they are compressed. I felt this would give more traction and be better in the bumps, but also keep the car flatter in the turns and stop the car from bottoming out.
It seemed to work because my fast lap was only .1 sec off in both rounds of qualifying and I TQ'd Rnd #2 against some very fast guys here in FL. I choose the wrong tires for the main and had issues but in practice and qualifying, my buggy was super dialed.
