Pic's loading. Will edit in a minute.

These are turned down TLT's using TLT springs as that is the bestones I could find in a hurry.

Sorry for the horable pics but my other camera is being used by my son.

I'll play with the camera to see about some better pics.

all you gotta do JJ is find the button that looks like a little flower, thats macro(close up) then find a well lit place and turn off the flash. then take the pic.

Yeah I tried everything and they all came out look horrible. Tried changing the lighting setting's, did the paper over the flash, no flash, took it in the bathroom even where the best light is and they are all lookin bad.

Here's some TLT shocks that I turned down. The upper spring is a rc18 spring, the blue one is something that I found at the LHS. If anyone needs a part number for the blue springs, I might still have it somewhere.
