SW-410001 SWORKz Silicone Shock Oil 200 cps 60cc (2oz) Bottle
Shock Oil Guide.
Altering the shock oil in the car is one of the easiest ways to affect its on track performance.
You can run different oils front and rear to further alter the way the car drives.
Front Shock Oil
■Thicker
By stiffening the front of the car it reduces roll and makes steering response sharper, this conversely makes the car steer less on a low traction surface as the car will push in the corner.
■Thinner
When on a low grip surface you will find increased steering with less under steer though it will make the over steer on power on the exit of a corner.
Rear Shock Oil
■Thicker
Reduces roll of the car making initial corner entry speed higher, looser mid corner but makes car unsettled on rough tracks with sharp direction changes.
■Thinner
Increased grip on the exit of a corner when entering corner.
NOTE.
SWORKz oils are measured in CPS which is the correct scientific measurment for viscosity (thickness of liquids) Some manufacturers use WT which is a non consitent way of measuring oils but to give you some idea below is a guide.
NB 30wt from one manufacurer will very in comparison to 30wt of another manufacturer so this guide is not definitive.
