For 5 minutes race i would use them, but not for training. 2 batteries and the rebound is 100%. And yes i use green slime and know how to build shocks. Advises are very welcome
Best to soak the xrings in shock oil for half a day to a day before building the shocks. The xrings are a bit too small to start with, and need to swell some first. Green slime actually retards this process and makes the shocks leak/suck air longer.
