Aluminium Big Bore Shock Set-Ups?

[JayJ]

Okay guys I just got my Aluminium Big Bores, won't be fitting them just yet until my Kraken RC Titanium Shafts and Hellfire Aluminium Shock Caps arrive but was wondering what set up others are running with the BB's?
The options are vast with the various pistons and then shock oil and springs into the mix.
I was considering limiting the return with some fuel tubing or one or two rubber bump stoppers inside thr shocks and 40wt shock oil but not sure what pistons to go with or springs?
My Flux is XL'd with the HPI conversion kit, HPI Suspension Conversion kit, HPI 24mm Hex Conversion and Baja PL Desperado Wheels.

Ideas please guys?

I run mine with the recommended 20wt and stock springs. I like it but a little soft for big air jumps but excelent articulation traction and handling. I have my sons setup with 30wt and white springs. Very nice all around performer. Stock pistons and shims on both. The big bores will sit lower than stock already. Both use stock pistons and spacers.
But I do like my suspension a little softer than most. HPI knows what they are doing with their recommendations.

I run 35wt front and rear stock pistons three stock clips in the back and 1 big and 1 med clip in the front, I also Got a lo get screw and mounted the shock on the outside front and rear http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab321/slimshamis/dec4029a.jpg
I got tired of replacing shock ends! Mickey recommended this setup to me he runs his the same way and since I've done that

Since I've done that no broken shock ends or bent shafts
