Remember, the T4 has a very low CoG so we probably need it to be softer than you'd think.

Softer? I'd think I'd be able to make it stiffer with the low COG.
Skiddins, I posted a few pages back that you know your s--t and always take your advice, so I'm going to test the different pistons and let you know how it goes.
I'm pretty new to racing and these machines we call toys (they are far from toys, if you want a toy go to toys R us) and have lots of questions and I highly appreciate this website and the seasoned racers answering these questions.
I'm starting to understand the mechanics of the car but still have a long way to go, but my understanding of the car is starting to overcome my driving ability. IMHO I should just drive and improve my driving before asking these questions, but it really fascinates me that they are almost identical to full scale race cars, and I'm starting to understand the real cars more
