The reason being is that upon reflection, I'd say now that we needed to go up in pack on the front end from where we were during testing because the car could become a little grabby on the front end on indoor carpet when the grip comes up. Our initial testing was outdoors during the winter when grip was generally lower - I think 4 hole 56s would be too much pack for our circuits over here but the 55s would possibly give a good starting point and give you the option of going further up in pack if needed or down in pack if you needed the front end to work a bit more actively over ruts and bumps.

To be honest - I think we achieved a pretty reasonable 'starting' set up for the mid car during our testing but I'm sure that now the car is out, people will develop it and hone the set up and go faster - I'd not say we were perfect but we ended up with a very consistent and balanced car that as easy to drive.

Was that the answer you were expecting?

Yes the reason behind running a smaller or bigger hole piston makes sense. But the suggested setup you included on the first page has 6 x 56 pistons with 25 wt or 4 x 56 with 27.5 wt.

If the piston hole stays the same size but there are fewer holes I would expect to need lighter oil to keep the dampening the same.
