Truck also has a tendency to loose the rear-end on the sweeper. The truck doese corner great. Steering does need to come down a litte.
Wondering if I should go w/ the FT yellow springs in the front as well.
Are you guys using AE brand oils?
Here's to hoping the mail lady shows up w/ my "Kit"......
Here's a video of the track I normally run. Luckily they expanded it quite a bit since this video was shot. But the dirt and overall smoothness is the same. I'm going to get some video of the new track soon.

start with 25ft/30rear with stock springs at first. dont make too many changes until you have played with the piston and oil first. once you get a feel for them then start playing with springs and sway bars. too much font droop is giving you the sweeper issues so your probably going to need to sitffen the front up a bit via sway bars and springs.
pistons are for the ae bigbore shocks.
