I built the car with 40wt oil and the #3 pistons. Car seemed a little too soft with tha oil setup. I did run the Rayspeed springs (Grays at 19.90lbs) and car leaned a little more than I wanted even with the stock front swaybar on. We run foams on an indoor asphalt track. I was thinking of going to 60wt oil to help with take away some of the lean or maybe going to the #4 piston and like 50wt.

Any suggestions? Overall the car was very nice to drive and alot of fun. No stripped parts like my other shaft car.
WYD,

Try raising the roll center by taking away the spacers under the arm mounts or at the inner camber link. This should make the chassis flatter through the turn, and give it a stiffer feeling. Also try Hara's DHI setup, that should get you into the ball park.
