Have been talking with Alex (Areed) from CT Racing for months about his new suspension set up. Two weeks ago I pulled the shocks, removed the springs and shipped them to him. Communication before, during and after the process has been great, he got them turned around in record time.
Before shipping I did a few tests: even at full restricted rebound, I could easily pull the shaft out with one hand. Compression as weak as well. Once returned I did the same test: Rebound is much more controlled, compresion is smoother.
Was in a hurry to get clutch tuning done so put the stock springs back on and went to the small track in my field. We have some nasty section that simulate bad conditions. In the tight flat corner I could plant the rear tire and the Mav would launch. Off the debris pile, the rear lands flat and sticks - no bucking. The whoop section is currently covered with brush, so no test there. Overall the entire ride felt more controlled.
The dual rates go on this week and hopefully some tuning at the dunes before we race COORP on Saturday.
Revalved shock, schrader conversion and the steeker.
Also got the front and rear tie rods installed as well.
