try 4x55 piston with 25wt oil and a yellow spring. If you are running the TLR rear weight please try removing it. This will help with corner speed and double bouncing issues. My set up is posted on other threads (cant remember where) might be worth having a look at,ive got no real issue with double bouncing off of any size jump at present.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but I have found the LP stagger to be more consistent than the larger stagger.

well that was intreresting the lp stagger gave my car so much more steering that i had to go back to the black spring and mount shock middle top and outer bottom as for the rear put 55 in with pink spring and 32.5 oil middle top iner bottom and for me it was terrible didnt have time to mess about to much but changed rear spring to yello and moved to outer top and outer bottom made it much better but still getting a lot of bounce i think my car is just to low if you look from the back my drive shafts are just below level

Of course that would be worse, but I did tell you to do 4hole 55 with 25wt oil and yellow spring. NOT 4x55 with 32.5wt oil and pink. Guess you live and learn. With regards to ride height, indoor I run at 20mm.

Lol yes you did just thought I would give it a go lol haw ever I did get the car settled and drive aball with the changes I made above lol gone to a white rear spring see haw that goes . If that's no better will swop out the oil to 25/30 ish as for ride hight I think I am running it to low but have no way of checking it properly 19 front 20 rear seems to be the norm but I think I am running much lower could some one get ther car and put some coins under there car then tell me wot coins and haw meny so I can get a ruff ider :-)

Are you running any weight in the car? if so, where?

This is set up mid config?

It's very hard to follow your changes and results across the threads and to be able to give sound advice or see a potential issue, how about posting a full detailed set up list, not just how the shocks are set up

What is the track surface?

And this bouncing is only after landing from jumps? if so, are you talking kickers landing on a flat hard surface or landing on an angled down ramp?

and its just the rear bouncing?
