Marder Shock help

[sidewayzbaja]

Well today i was looking at my marder and i saw that my rear shock's don't oil in them. So i want to know what weight should i use??? For drag racing

I just filled mine with 40wt, it seems to be about right.

the thicker the better for drag racing, and harder springs the better. you don't want it squatting when under throttle

and when it squats you will see the tires lean in and less contact patch on the ground. you want to limit your travel with the screws in the arms. if you are drag racing you don't need much suspension at all. so get it low and stiff. add shock spacers if you have to to get the springs stiff, use the screws in arms to limit the travel. you don't even need more than a half inch of travel, and then set your camber and toe in

don't go too heavy with the shock oils, wheel-hop sucks!
