Ran 20w all round with pink rear and green front springs and it handled spot-on at Bury weekend before last.

Yer it handled Great but your Tyres looked a little bit worn come the end of the day or was there a camber issue.??

Neither.
Just simply my rather 'over-agressive' driving style I think!!
Mind you, once I'd inadvertently converted the mini-pins to slicks it seemed to handle just as well.

These setups are somewhat ‘different’ to the magic xx4 setup, which I’ll post for you.

Outdoors it is normally 40wt front, orange piston silver or green springs. 30wt rear, blue piston, red spring. I sometimes run 2.5 weight heavier indoors or maybe 5wt if somewhere as grippy as teeside, but I strongly suggest you put the orange and blue pistons in and take it from there.

Actually the front you can play about with more like 30 - 35wt red piston or 25wt black piston but I don’t know any of the top lads that seem to ever more from the blue piston (and usually 30wt) in the rear.

Gary, as I was saying yesterday, the XXX4 magic setup was blue pistons all round, 60wt in the front with a black spring, 30wt in the rear with a red spring (possibly a bit harder oil if moving round too much on high grip).

thanks for your advice yesterday Dan, 100% improvment on the handling changing shock oil and 200% improvment when i took the silly motor out :p
