750/350
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
Xray 3 stripe front spring, Serpent V2 orange front spring for rear
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.
Sweet! I will give this a whirl to start off then, only thing I dont have is the other springs. I like the sound of the X ray springs will have to get some on order! So you went 750 front 350 rear on the oils? thats quite a difference.
