    orange/Blue/red khiro cone top, blue barrel and orange/blue/red cone bottom?

    I'd say just get the khiro kit and try combos out yourself.

    And you could always use venoms and make up for the height with washers or something.

    Holey reds. The smokes will be to soft for you @ 210lbs.
    Go out, skate, and enjoy the ride.

    I use the stock randal yellow bushings. It's super divey and reboundy funness.

    Venom barrels fits perfectly if you add an extra cup washer at the bottom(two total)

    On my 6.0's I use a holey red bottom with holey blue top, then vice versa for the back. Love it.

    The reds are almost too soft for me at 190.

    That's a good tip, Blix. Gonna try that whenever we thaw out here.

    At 185 lbs I find the stock urethane bushings good for carving and cruising after I removed the bottom washer.
    For slalom and pumping I use orange Khiro barrel bottoms or orange/white Khiro barrel bottoms shimmed up with a couple nylon washers. Again I'm 185. So that may be a bit soft for you. This is just for the front truck. When I use a Bennett in the back I go stiff with all Yellow Khiro barrels.
    If you want a fun carver like an Original truck. I use Tracker hourglass bushings sitting on a black Khiro barrel top. Super carvy with a good return to center for me (again at 185).
