Depends on the dampers. The side shocks i've used most have been off an AE 1/18th scale buggy as I've found the damping too heavy on the VCS shocks - too much friction in the seals. Tried the VCS shocks again at my local club the other night and the car was awful. Just finished refitting the Associated ones.

For the side springs I've settled on the AE silver. Ran AE green on the first prototype but there was less leverage with that set up as the shocks were mounted higher. I'd tested the shock set up on a modified L4 (no tweak screws) for 4 months before building the first prototype and tranferred that geometry across. I then lowered everything for the car in the pictures.

Damping wise I switch between 30wt and 40wt oil in the AE shocks. The 40wt still gives lighter damping than the VCS shocks fitted with 20wt oil!

We did some tyre testing a few months back and discovered the car likes a harder rear tyre. Been running Jaco Prisms and it cooks the yellow tyres within 4 minutes and the grip goes off. I just drove round the problem but I'd given the car to Andrew Smith to try and that's when we discovered what was going on. Now run Magentas when the grip is low and switch to Double Pinks as the grip goes up. Always run Double Pinks on the front.
