First, it's not supposed to go all the way back up, you set that with the ride height spacers. However, your problem could be caused by the massive amounts of air in your shocks. Every time you take them apart, you have to make sure there is no air inside. Move the piston up and down, and let all the air bubbles rise to the top, and then put the caps on.

what kind of shock oil would u suggest? i have some 20 wieght for my rc10gt.

[monyet fangkeh]

for touring car you could try 50wt on all corners. if you think its still too soft...try thicker oil then.

50wt seems too soft. Try using 60wt. Also, inspect the shock internals for wear, and replace all worn out shock parts.

If you're just bashing, use 40-50w oil. If you're racing, you'd have to experiment.
