Cool! Thanks for the cleaning tip niznai. I'll try the new oil, so it's not absolute critical to get every single residue of the old oil out? I was thinking of soaking all the stuff in some WD40 or something.

big al, currently I do have a stabilizer set on my front and back, and I m using both the yellow ones. I'll try your suggestion with just the front and see how I go. I m also running 1 degree negative camber on all wheels, does the 0.5 make that much of a difference?

I was looking online for some springs yesterday and came across the TA05 hard springs set (#49389). Do you reckon I would be better off just changing to a harder oil than to change both? I think I will get them anyway just to experiment.

I'll do adjustments bit by bit. I have noticed that with 540 I barely even used the brakes. Like you said I think it's about keeping the speed around corners as the gearing is up high and there is not much torque.

For now I'll just lower it to 5mm and try the harder shocks and see how I go.

Thanks.
