Cold Wet outdoor astro set up help

[headsmell]

For the guys running in cold, out door wet astro tracks, what diff and shocks cst are you running at?
What front & rear camber toe starting points?
Was 3°C & 10°C the last two times i was racing and still have my stock oils in.

My issue is I feel like my rear always gives out. running on schumacher silver spirals tires (most run on these on my track).
Just feels like ice skates...
Rear suspension feel sluggish, so defiantly will try 400 or 450 cst.

One of the club members mentioned a 7/10/5 diff oils, but that felt counter intuitive to increase the center diff (he wasn't driving a tekno).
They mentioned is would help pull out of slides. I have heard other guys in the UK running 50-30/5/5 in the diffs aswell

Try not to over think it, temperature will also effect the viscosity which will require either thicker/thinner CST depending on temps, you need to go off how the car feels and what you may need it to do:

After shock oil adjustment, and still searching for rear traction, I'd moving camber link up a notch on the tower to try and get more weight transferred to the outer tire.

Yes, the mentioned center diff fluid change is counter intuitive to my thinking as well.

Thanks, you are referring to the shock tower right? So where the red dot is?

When/ why would I need to adjust the camber connection to the rear hub options?

Which EB48? If running the 2.2 stock setup,

Yes, of course, you could play with the roll centers at the hub camber link as well. I couldn't tell you which would have a greater effect though. Softer sway bar would help get you more traction as well.
