Also depends on what type of driving your doing. I race a sc10 short course and that's completely different then my wraith. I feel it's more of a personal feel of how they react to what you put them through and track conditions. Tuning race shocks can be a pain in the ass, between the oil, springs and valves. Then ride heights come to play also. I know this doesn't help that much but do some more searching and reading, I'm sure someone has a base line settings to start out at.

Springs should match the shock oils action.. Tuning is trial and error. 30wt and whatever springs the come with will give you a starting point. I've found 30wt to work well for crawling on a few difrent shocks |
