Rear Shocks

How can i make my rear shocks stiffer? They just bounce all over the place. Do i need some new shock oil or what? I already have 2 of the big spacers on each one. Still bouncy.

and take the shock preeload spacers out (well one out) and put 40 Wtg or 50Wtg in...

i have 40Wtg in my tornado and i love it... no bounces it feals like it is rideing on a bubble of air... it is very smooth..

RE: Rear Shocks

you can also flip the spring upside down so the part where the springs are closer together are on the bottom and that will help[img]08041.jpg[/img]

RE: Rear Shocks

i wouldnt, temprature can effect the thickness of the oil, your better off with silicone shock oil.
