shock and oil questions

[misterleon]

like the title states, I need to buy shock oil for my v1. I am thinking about ordering red springs all around and going 40wt in the front and 45wt in the back. right now im using blue springs with unknown wt oil inside and the vehicle has a bunch of body roll (front left or right tires are picking up off the ground way too much and getting way too much squat in the rear).

2 Questions:
1. will my choices for springs and oil help me out for what I need, or am I off base?

2. will the 2-ounce bottles be enough for all 4 shocks? I will only be putting them in 2 shocks respectively but would like some extra in case I want to make any changes. thanks for the help.

Id go gold springs with the 5t and youll need 2oz bottle? since you gonna do your shock id put bleeder caps coz the 5t v1 shocks have bladders and it a bit of a pita?
Correctrion the orange springs ?

40wt would be the win and i would go same springs all round?? but thats just me... theses are also cool and trump the 5t braces ?you get to adjust lower arm geometry ?

I went orange all around ordered 40 and 45 wt and got the bleeder caps. Gonna wait for the braces, I don’t wanna spend another 100 right now (just dropped 175 on this stuff for the shocks. Next time though
