Popsracer,

Did that.....


Camber:
•0° in front
•1° in back
•0° toe in front

Drives alot better, i just got to take those spacers out.

Question: If I do put heavier oil in my shock, thats going to stiffen them up right? Now, Can I use any oil? I work in an autoparts store can I just use straight 30 or 40 motor oil? What if I used 70w-90 gear oil, or something like 20w-50? I figure that if I use 20w-50, it's 20 weight when it's cold but as soon as it's warm it's 50 weight. Will the shock creat enough heat to do that. I also figured even if it dosen't get hot enough to be 50 weight, it may get hot enough to be 35-40 weight. One more thing when I first built my shocks the manual said to move the shaft in and out with the cap off to get the bubbles out of the oil, do I really need to do this? Is there any trick to getting rid of all them?????
