I could level the chassis by raising the spring(s) but the "Gyro bounce" was difficult to get right and I never felt like it was what it should be. After discovering that the chassis wasn't balanced correctly it made sense that I couldn't get the suspension adjusted right. Now that the chassis is balanced, getting the "Gyro bounce" is easy. Took just a few tries and the chassis has a good sustained piston bounce. I could probably spend more time and fine tune it but for now it's the best its been.

I originally thought it was the springs at fault and ordered up a set of new springs. But after installing them the balancing problem was still there so I knew there was something else going on. I don't regret buying the springs too much because I now have a set of spares for the long haul.

Regards,
Tom
