Depends on what the tuner has valved it too, but 5wt is pretty standard in rear, in some cases as low as 3, but this would require a change in the shim stack. Silkolene, Belray, or any synthetic or synthetic blend with a defoaming agent - most of which have some amount of defoamer. We use Silkolene and a couple of other brands and blends depending on what your doing with it.
