I'd say that considering the way you have the leverage on the rear shocks, you need way more spring in the rear. You have what could even be a 5:1 rear shock leverage, and that is good for articulation, but no good for keeping it stable. I think if you went for a heavier shock oil (to calm springs) and a stiff heavy spring in the rear, you might have it perfect with no sway bar at all.
I've had to use heavier springs also with large shock leverage. I like my shocks far inside, and it's the same characteristics you have with the rocker arms on the rear.
It's obvious you have a large brain already, so I am sure you will come up with a mind-numbing solution in any case!
:nice:
I see what you are saying and youre right, i will try heavier oil when i get my new shocks and maybe stiffer springs then see how that works, ill keep you posted!

Thanks for the info! :jeepy:

Runs as good as it looks, man. I didn't see a whole lot of articulation problems in the video. The articulation looked pretty scale to me.

Thx!

It runs very good now compared to before sway bar, it was to stiff in the rear in the videos.

I made a new sway bar of a 1.5mm rod instead of 2mm today and it feels much better the the 2mm one, if it softens up a little with use it should be just perfect.

I also hope to see the new shocks in this week so i can fine tune the rear.

Well damn bra... That's excellent.

Since you're getting "endorsement gear" now, do we have to call you "Pro?"
