G'Day MP9,
I've been running a Cougar in Sydney for a few months now at Ryde, Castle Hill and St Ives tracks which usually have pretty good grip for the big events. Is the surface high grip clay? At the recent NSW State titles we had heaps of grip on the clay but the surface wasn't really bumpy.
I ran x2000's at the Ryde Club challenge with J Concepts barcodes at the front.
When I first ran the car it had heaps of steering and to dial some of it out I run thicker shock oil up to 40wt Associated at the front with standard spring i think its 3.5. I've flipped the front arms to give more wheel base also.
I run the rear shocks at the back of the gearbox and suspension arms. My theory is it will add a little more weight over the rear wheels with the shocks at the back.
Rear shock mounted on the inner most hole on the shock tower and middle hole at the arm. Currently I run the rear a little soft with 25 to 30 wt oil and a softer spring than standard.
Car seems to go OK and still steers very well it's more predictable for me with this style of setup.
All the best
