Well, I put 70wt oil in the kit shocks - still too soft - or rather there wasn't enough (any) 'pack'. I built the upgraded shocks the night before - they only come with 2 pistons - again these were same sized holes but 2 or 3 holes.
I put 3 holes in the rear and 2 hole in the front.. the rears were just too soft and not enough pack - I would of ended up with 50wt in there to get enough damping with the 3 hole piston and I hadn't brought the spare 2 hole pistons! oops
If you look at the 501X pistons (same diameter but too thick to be used) they have different sized holes (and 2 of them) - and even the biggest isnt as big as those in the DF03 hop-up shocks.
So to cut a long story short- I couldn't get enough pack in even the hop-up shocks and the car would smack the floor from only a few inches high - so I chose not to run them until I put the hardest pistons in.
I think the best thing you can do to the hop-up shocks is put 501X pistons and shafts in them.
The B4 shocks made a good difference and the car was a lot more planted.
