thanks fabman. since those don't work what does work? shocks with adjustable rebound/compression? i'm guessing you want the front to have soft compression and hard rebound, and for the back you want hard compression and soft rebound, when running no wheelie bars. any hints on front spring weight? thanks again.

u do a burnout with the azenis, to heat them up? my best with the azenis is actually a 2.1 on the b20, but i'm hoping to hit 1.9's the next time i hit the track! have you figured out why your 60' time, went up with the b20 set up!

The azenis were heat cycled to death. I had to use them when dynoing as they were the only tyres that size that I had. I've only done three passes with the B20 so practice would probably get the times back down but I got crappy Nitto DR's now
