Anyways, try many things to find the right setup for your driving style. But a pro did tell me his mini setup... blue rear, yellow front as a starting point. Also try 30wt, 3 holes, without the red thing in the bladder of the shocks.

Have fun.

P.S. Gear diff with anti wear grease. No need for ball diff.
Cheers.
Currently have the car setup with Yellow Front, Blue rear, and 50wt 2 hole in the front, 40wt 2hole in the rear. Feels pretty good so far, on a little try out last night. Going to have a run again tonight on a slightly larger/higher speed area, and have a little play.

And I've still got a gear diff in the front with the AW greese, feels nice and tight
