+1, doesn't appear that they are really bothered tbh. I asked em a little while back, and they said the company doing the moulding or whatever backed out, and the moulds are feked. They said they will fix em "one day" , so it appears they aren't bothered /don't give a fek ??
 
Honestly I wasnt paying too much attention to how hard it was arse dragging in your last vid, but shock fluid has more to do with the dampening /rebound effect then weight transfer. May want to review your vids a bit and try to see if the arse is squatting hard all the time. If so I would suggest 1 of 2 things first. Give it a bit more spring preload, try the next stiffer spring then go for stiffer fluid. Too stiff fluid will give bad cornering and make it "bounce" rather then give to the terrain. Kind how on a off road vehicle that doubles as a road rig, you adjust the shocks softer off road, and stiffen them for on road, but set your spring rate for the intended purpose.

Ok so stiffer springs you suggest? Doubt I'll be back on road tbh. Offroad is so much more fun. It is dragging the ass end quite a bit

Tighten up the springs all the way. WHEELIE ALL DAY but it will handle like ?
But who cares you ain’t racing anyone and wheelies are just awesome ???

It just becomes bouncy as hell if I tighten em up, they are pretty tight right now but not all the way, which is why I think I need oil and not springs.
