my riding buddy Tom swears by synthetic power steering fluid for fork oil. He's done it for years, & has had no problems. But if regular fork oil is available, i'd go with that.

Mr Go Race
is the psi what you tested a new shock or what your testing ended up at?

The dimension's of the shock and loads involved are what the shock needs to prevent cavitation. 14mm shaft with a 46mm body. 7.7kg spring

You stated

K2C is good but what viscosity is it?

Its a Soqi shock with mystery oil inside... Not a KYB component..
