I have always associated shock oils with how reactive a shock is not whether they feel harder or softer.


Personally ive always run 40wt shock oil 3 holes. But thats just out of habit because thats what i always ran in my cyclone (maybe sometimes 30wt on the rear of the cyclone i think). Never felt the need to change the shock oil on my mini. Although thats probably because i hate building shocks!

Also personally i have never tried the 3 degree rear blocks. I wonder if thats why i have a lot of trouble starting the nights up at windsor till the track starts to change or i get used to the conditions. I think all my cars currently have the standard 1.5.

But the comment bjsinner's is very valid in that it will work the rear tyres harder and generate more heat.
