Damper pistons

[alan p]

Hope someone can help, which damper pistons should i be using with 30/40wt oil, i'm running #1 pistons at the moment, i changed the oil when rebuilding the dampers with white O-rings, Now it seams to bounce a little to much.

do you mean the car bounces too much on the track? over/through bumps or off jumps?

30wt with #1's in the rear shouldn't be too far away but I know the Ghea pistons are popular - check http://www.p-dubracing.co.uk/ for availability.

with #1's you might find that you are bottoming out off jumps and/or big bumps, so increasing the pack (by using a smaller holed piston, such as #2) might help. however, the #2 pistons will not normally go through rough stuff as well as #1 - thats where the Ghea pistons come in.

Yes it seamed to have a rebound on rough sections but landed fine after big jumps,

do you know if anyone has tried the RPM dual rate type?

ghea number 2's in front, ghea number 1's in rear, simples

Alan if your thinking of getting some ghea piston, PM me we go halves on 2 packs. Works out a bit cheaper

that's what I run and it seems to ride the bumps really nicely. currently on 30/25 oil

Ok so i have the Ghea pistons now thanks to Jaxx, do you fit them with the taper facing upward or down

I've got them in mine. They work well but I don't have enough track time on them to give a good honnest review of them yet.

thanks for the reply CODMAN, seems like you are reasonably pleased with them. Where did you get them from? I can only seem to find them on Feebay USA at the moment. Did you get light/medium or medium/heavy?

Cheers, Mark.
