Default how to stop a bouncy b44

hey guys. Basicly my problem is when my associated b44 goes down the straight on our track, its bounces alot more bouncy than the other cars, it spends more time in the air than on the ground. What Suspension set up should i be looking at to stop it bouncing? Should i go stiffer or softer? Right now the rear has silver springs and 25wt oil, and the fronts are 35wt, green springs. Thanks for reading

Your setup seems to be totally upside down.
I'd try

Front:
35Wt
Piston #2
1 Limiter
silver Spring

Rear:
30Wt
Piston #1
2 Limiters
green Spring

This should work..

i had the same problem too but mine was noticeable over the jumps as when it landed it'd bounce lol.
i switched lighter wt shock oil at rear from stock.and fronts are stock with 35wt oil.

The team drivers run. 30WT in the rear and 35WT in the front.That should help the rear from bouncing about,oh and bleed the shocks correctly, so when you push the shock shaft up ( with no spring) it should come out a little, not more than 1/4.


Thanks.
