Thanks for the tips, the car came under some scrutiny after my post and i discovered the setup is nowhere near where i thought it was or it should be. After much head scratching, reading the manual and reading up alot online about shocks and pistons i have a new base setup which i will start with.

The car will be returned to a more standard setup, middle hole on the wishbones fr + rr, the top links have been lengthend and are in the top inside hole (rears are still alot closer to the wishbone than the fronts on the tower side), the low hole is now used on the rear hubs. The rear shocks have been moved from hole 3 to hole 7 on the tower, fronts still in hole 3. The shocks will be rebuilt with grey springs, 30wt oil and losi red pistons for the front and the rear will be yellow springs, 35wt oil and blue pistons (at least until i change my mind on oil and pistons again). It was running AE2, 30wt, grey all round before with AE shocks.

White springs? Thats soft. Does anyone remember the spring ratings for the old spring kits? Think i might have the sticker somewhere to tell me, maybe not though...
