FS2 SP Shocks and springs info please

[tommy turtle]

Hi,

I have finally got my SP built and ready to go for racing tomorrow. I am looking for a bit of advice please as I have built the kit to the standard spec as I believe they are pretty good straight out of the box. My only issue is that on a quick run last night, when I picked the car up off of the track the rear driveshaft popped out. Do I need to put a sleeve in the shock to lessen then length of the shock? Also when the car is sat with the spring platforms fully out the car still seems to sit at about 25mm. The front isn't quite so bad but it still seems too high. Is this normal and ok and if not then what should I do please? Finally what weight oil do you recommend for the big bore shock when running indoors on carpet/wood etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Tom
