    Krom, we fought the same problem half the year.My go to fix is a 208/72 linear for the r/r ,always worked on the swing arm cars.That also is the r/r shock in the DP1 bilstein package.It helped very little.We wore out the bolt holes on the 4 bar mounts ,jbar and shocks.I came to the conclusion that the r/f is slammed in the ground,l/r is up on the bars and now the l/f is chained or has a lot of rebound maybe the r/r is unable to respond.We started going to old school ways of just tightening the car up.It instantly started working better.

      We have taken the LF limiter off for now, still run alot of rebound there but the limiter really made the car loose. Now that I am thinking about it more, i believe i should of made a combo of changes, stiffer RR spring as MBR says and then a shock change like you guys are saying, plus kept the LF limited somewhat. This winter i am going to make a refined version that i can adjust easily.

      The car ran the best on a 250 RR, far amount of rebound, and a RF stack, a lot of rebound etc. RF had a stop on it, only for bottoming out.

      Season is over now, but next year i am thinking a Linear base valve D/A on the RR, probably a Genesis GX2.

      Just say no...
