At a guess, and this is a guess as i have never tried mine on astro :/ ive tried it on this brillo pad like stuff at ledbury and my carpet setup seemed to work fine there so i can give that to you to try on astro, can't do any harm haha!

shock oil= 25 allround
in the photos it shows the preload wound right off, at the time of running offroad i had the fronts down 6mm and rear down 2mm

front, bottom mount= 3rd outer, topmount= 3rd outer, camber mount mid top and roughly 1.5degree of negative and similar toe in

rear, bottom mount= 2nd outer bottom row, topmount= 4th outer, camber link 3rd inner and running a crazy 5 degree negative, trust me it works on carpet and brillo haha sounds mad but is great! and your usual toe in at the rear

hope this has helped bud, if anything its something to try!

oh on a cautionary note, be very careful if your running anywhere near small stones, they get picked up so easily by the back belt and get caught underneath it in the belt teeth creating a high spot when the belt tries to rotate, causing it to literally bite on the rear camber mount and take chunks out of it!

no its not quite the same, astro has longer thicker strands to it, this is stuff is identical to the stuff you find on the green side of kitchen sponges, used for hockey pitches! its great stuff though haha

Thanks!

For a while ago I did my best race ever, the bx was great running the std manual setup.
I used it in Innherred, Norway-astro.

I didn't made any changes except the oil, a bit thicker in the front and a few extra grams.

Ledbury's surface is astro ... it's the sort that is used for hockey pitches and is VERY grippy even when wet hence why you got away with you carpet setup I guess.

yeh it did seem very similar strangely to our gt carpet! ahh fair enough, wasn't sure if it was something different to astro as it seems so short and tightly woven!
