This is yet another way you can get the handling characteristics that you want. Also, I put the tapered pistons in the shocks (10x1.1). With a lighter weight car pushing down on these shocks combined with these upgrade pistons, I found I could lighten the fluid in the shocks. I still have enough pack to absorb the larger jumps so the chassis doesn't bottom out and the lighter fluid lets the suspension flow more fluidly over the ripples in the track when all four are to the ground. I am very impressed with this car. I think it is versatile, responsive, and will turn inside many other respectable cars. I can definitely see myself racing this one for another season.
mine is down to 7lb 13oz ready for the main. The car feels awsome. it is more responsive in the air(easier to correct a ill faced jump). I plan to get the snr chassis and the shock towers and about 12 aluminum 4x12 screws!
