please elaborate as to why a front spring outside of how stiff it is cannot be used on the rear, assuming the stiffness of the spring is what you need?

I was going to ask the same thing but its a moot point, he does not know. And yet once again its not a true statement. you dont design a spring for front or rear its wound up wire, spring rate is spring rate. Linear,progressive,length and wire gauge are what you have to alter. Only difference is length.

Sc10 4x4 shock building tips
The Ae 13mm Team shock is a very good shock but some tips here can help improve their performance ...
Most use emulsion design , brings the best traction ....
Bladders add extra pack and are
useful for big jumps & landings ...
The 13mm shock comes with 2 x-ring O ring seals .
They are mounted on the top & bottom of the seal cartridge .
If you assemble & slide the shaft back & forth with no oil you can notice the shaft binding or sticking .
A easy cure is to remove the top Xring and assemble as normal.
removes all the stick & no leak's ...
This mod will bring a plusher smoother ride , traction improves as well.
The 13mm shock comes with shaped pistons, remember to mount the piston flat side up inside the bore.
Most use the 1.2 pistons..

around here, bladder with the bleed screw removed is giving the best performance.

What kind of track conditions are you using the bladder on ?

rough track conditions the 2 stage RC shox pistons work excellent.
Forget the name of the brand but there is an oring from an aftermarket manufacturer that to me felt smoother using 2 of there rings than even a single stock ring.

TSR.
I used the club spec, pro spec is supposed to be even less stiction but they say you will get a little bit of leakage so that's more for someone that rebuilds every day of driving.
Club specs leaked nothing and were super smooth.
Their diaphragms are much better than stock as well.

I used those before 06...
single Xring will not leak, very free & no stick .
Compares to the Ae 12mm in smoothest ..
May be another ring better ...
Advantages to X ring is however is cost ....
Single X-ring mod is almost "free" , most already
have that seal in their pit bag ...

I had no leak from the TSR's and tried the single X before I spent the $$ but got a lillte seepage even using shock snot on a set that was a few months old so they should have had some swell to seal already. Only tried it once so maybe I didn't give it a fair shake but I really like the TSR silicone. As good as Mugen silicone.

Great Video Blue, sure miss my stinky truck ....
Looks just like one of our N/w tracks , Skagit River WA .....
If I were you ? Stick with the bladder's ...
Try the emulsion though , your grip will improve in comparison ...

Yeah, true... if you run single X you get 2 rebuilds for one.

Thought they did perform just every bit as well however....
I'm kinda low budget , so been using the single X for almost year now just cus they are cheep .
BTW
I only pre oil the rings before assembling these days...

curious if you could do 1 oring with the TSRs, how good would they be in comparison ...
