Ok am looking to the experts for some input. My M05 has an issue with serious oversteer. I can't go into a corner aggressive at all or with any real amounts of speed without the rear coming around on me.

Now with my TC experience this sounds like a rear droop issue. When my TC's do it I take the droop screws in till I am happy. Unfortunately the mini as we all know does not have these. So would spacers in the shock serve the same purpose? If so how many would be a good starting point?

My shocks are the TRF mini shocks built per the instructions. But when the caps were put on I had the pistons at the bottom of the shocks (fully extended). Could the rebound be causing an issue as well?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

P.S. At this point I have a whopping 2oz of lead over the rear axle in order to try and tame it. I would like to ditch this if at all possible.
