Henry i used green slime with a loose O ring in the bottom slot and they are perfect!
No war. this is how we figure these trucks out.
you said "lowering the shims gave me more initial bite but less mid and exit steering... raising them worked the opposite"
What confused me is earlier in the thread you stated you needed more exit steering. but here your saying lowering the shims takes the exit away..but yet you got faster.
I haven't noticed a big change when raising or lowering. the exit steering i gained was when i moved the ball stud from the outside to the inside location on the tower. The general rule is that less = more push on exit.
If you got faster with less shims. then I need to try it out
. I'm currently at 4mm front and rear. which was 2 or 3mm less than what Kinwald was running.
