I have purple in front and was thinking dbl pink or gray rear. But after that Im lost. I have pod springs but dont know where to start and if I start with the springs what do I do with the damper tubes? Or maybe start with the shock? Im gonna assume that I have .020 springs in the front and am gonna leave them alone seeing how I dont have any others right now.
I found Rich Chang's tuning guide but still wondering were to start and in what order would be best.
Thanks

Hey Parttime, I think I would start with this. First off, never assume anything. Front springs are only two dollars, buy a pair that way you know for sure what you have. I would also start off with 10 degree's of caster in the front.
The cnter shock I would start of with 30 wt oil and a copper spring from associated. The dampning tubes start with 10,000, and the side springs should be white. Ride height about 3.5 in the rear, and 3-3.25 in the front. Also, about 1 millimeter of pod droop. Dope all the rear tires and the inside 1/3 of the fronts.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
