LRP HiTemp pure silicone oil viscosity updates

LRP have expanded their range of HiTemp pure silicone shock absorber fluids to offer finer in-between steps. To the range of 15wt to 90wt fluids add 17.5, 22.5, 27.5, 32.5, 37.5, 42.5 and 47.5 oils which come in handy for off-road and on-road applications alike. The special formula of the fluids makes them very consistent even in temperature changes which also results in a more consistent damper action through the run.
