Mine has always gone well there and I use:

Blue front/yellow rear springs
Rear shocks 3rd hole in at top, inside hole on wishbone, diff low and kit shock limiter
35wt front 30wt rear oil
Front shocks 3rd hole in at top, middle hole on wishbone
Rideheight: rear collar high as possible (eg lowest rideheight), uncut spring, front whatever makes the rideheight level!

Hope that helps!!

My setup is the same as daves aside from blue/blue springs, one coil cut at rear.

35WT front and rear, and i used -1.0 degree hubs last meeting at Worksop. Going to try -0.5 this next time.

Hope that helps a bit more.

To back this up I think blue rear springs and extra toe in may be the way to go too, just haven't tried it yet!

Generally Chadderton always feels a bit grippier than Worksop to me, so stiffening up may well work!

what pistons are you guy's running?
are you just running kit setting?
