Default U4 1.9 shock recommandation and setting

I'm building a 1.9 U4 rig, I'm using SCX10's Powerstroke for now they're not doing it for me.

What would be a good and not overpriced (like the Velvet) shock set.
What about springs and oil as a starting point?

The chassis is pretty light, no cage, carbon fibre chassis and plastic wheels.

Thanks for the help.

Gilles

My 1.9 ibex, has the Gmade piggy backs, 35wt oil, stock springs. The dampening is perfect. The rig weighs 7lb 4oz with a 3s.

Aeration vs Diaphragm, I'm not sure which one works best for this application.
Also what springs do you run on those, Gmade only have 3 different references, soft, medium and hard.

Thanks guys

i prefer the aeration style to the ones with the damn diaphrams in them because im used to associated stuff, and also because i hate them little shock bladder things.

i have the gmade piggybacks as well and they are suuuuper smooth. the one thing with the gmades it you have to be very particular when building them or else they will leak.

These are awsome shocks especially with the MIP real shock kit in them!! Takes a bit of patience to get tuned to your liking,,but once you get set there killer. I run In my SC trucks for long time only the losi 10 or scte think there the same as the 22s..

I've just picked up a pair of the GMade piggybacks (have yet to install them), but I have a question that maybe I'm not the only one asking: does anyone know how/why aeration is preferable in a RC shock? I always thought aeration was considered a bad thing, but the GMade shocks have a valve to deliberately induce aeration?? I'm confused -

And I'm not trying to hijack the thread - just seemed kinda relevant to the conversation about what shocks to choose even though I already chose mine (honestly, mostly based on looks and availability)
