You can also try shim front part of top deck to get rid of the flex from the front. I tried another top deck this weekend and it didnt work well. Standard top deck is the best on small tracks atleast.
I agree on you dont need the drilled holes. The carseems to get more air in after 1 run.
I dont seem to be able to get zero rebound with stock shocks. What lenght on the shock shaft are you using?
I get zero rebound on the stock shock setup (no hole in cap) shaft length with ball end at 11.5mm as per the manual. All I do is use a 3mm caster clip on the shock shaft and when bleeding the shock push the shaft in and hold it against the clip/bottom of shock while tightening the cap very slowly. This gives zero rebound repetitively. If I push the shaft all the way in when bleeding I end up with a negative pressure in the shock which sucks the shaft back in when fully extended.
On the old SS shocks from the 3.0 I used the same technique as above but needed a 4mm caster clip to get the same results. Hope that helps?
