Your rf spring load and rate are probably why it looks lounge they ruin more tie down. If your shocks are from a reputable guy and atleast from the least valved within the last 3-4 years their probably not your main problem
    Cool, this makes sense. So, if I crank the rebound fully up on my Ohlins LMJ's on the front shocks with minimal compression in it, should the gas pressure be high enough to immediately extend, or should they slowly extend over a period of 10-15 minutes?

    When I ran Twin Tubes with a lot of rebound in the front I would stand on the tire to get it to come down so I could scale it. I don't have to do this with the gas shocks.

      No the gas will not usually push them out very fast. The best thing to do when scaling is to open all your rebounds up. When playing with traditional twin tubes vs newer mono/ canister stuff on the bench the canister stuff usually feels much different almost like its a less aggressive shock but this is not usually the case. It's just not a accurate way of checking a shock now days. Not really apples to apples persay. And i forgot to mention from the info you posted regarding your setup. My general assessment would be the car is probably loose in tight to the fuel and then loose off. When their is brown in the racetrack the driver can probably fix the center with the brake pedal . As soon add hee needs too steer the car in its probably no good. We used to have a guy around here that would say " my car is great until i run out of tear offs and then it's no good"
