I haven't driven for a while (heart transplant 4 weeks ago) but hopefully back out driving within a couple of weeks.
You don't need a heap of springs for the SB either, Jörn runs DB/LB everywhere

Just bringing up my old topic to add some info to see what other people think.
In my opinion, the big bores that i've been running since getting the car are definitely not as responsive, even when running 6x1.2 pistons front and back. This really got shown up yesterday at our first regional on an extremely bumpy track, my big bores couldn't really keep up on the rear. I managed to soften the front enough but even on 25w oil on the back the rear was still struggling to ride the bumps.
I will be moving to small bores this weekend for the extra responsiveness as most of our tracks are grass and fairly bumpy although the one at the weekend is by far the bumpiest. I think the big bores is suited better to smoother tracks.
If you fill a big bore and a small bore with the same oil and similar or identical pistons, then compress them, you will see the massive difference in response which is understandable due to the extra oil in a big bore having to pass through the piston.
