carisma gtb damping.
My gtb is massively over damped. Setting the f/r ride height is impossible.
What pistons and oil are the top drivers using on carpet? |

Hi mate i'm running the pro pistons in mine, they are about £2 from Trackside Spares if you want to fit them, its very easy. It gives the fluid A LOT more movement inside the shock.
I currently run 45 rear and 37.5 front with the harder Black springs up front. Anything under about 40 on the rear with the pro pistons is a little soft for my liking. Tbh the pro pistons are a massive help.

Do you know the diameter and number of holes in the pro pistons?

I don't know the size of them but they have 3 holes in and the same diameter as the kit ones. They have the same number as the kit ones but the holes are bigger. You get 2 sizes in each pack.

I'm not sure, i bought the Green pro shocks with the pro pistons already fitted.
Buy the pro pistons, they are like £2 and will give you all the options of using thicker/thinner oils

Pro pistons are 1.3 mm
shock oil allways run front heavy than the rear my setup is 32.5 rear 35 front anti role bar 1.2 front 1.1 rear as a rule softer you go more grip you get on the rear |

As said just get the pro Pistons, they are a different profile and thickness to the kit ones, it's not just about the hole sizes.
Front: number 2 piston, 37.5wt oil, hard spring, 1.2 anti roll bar Rear: number 2 piston, 32.5wt oil, medium (kit) spring, 1.1mm roll bar Should be a pretty good place to start |

I run 40 weight in the rear on mine now, ive tried 30 and 32 but find them way too soft, the back end seems to catch more on the ground :/ always seems a bit more twitchy?
I run 37.5 up front with the hard springs and its perfect. The pro pistons are a must though, the kit ones are far too slow.

Just drill the stock ones out to 1.3 or even 1.4.this give you a quicker recovery off the jumps .you dont want to go heavy oil on the rear.unless you on a track with high grip and not many jumps.heavy oil will make your car double bounce on the jump landing making the car out control.
