Alright just got a fat e- cash check from tower. If you guys had to get one spring set each for front and rear, what would you go with? Mostly racing on high- bite clay (critters raceway NJ). Oh and I'm running a 10.5 in the Lite which has white springs.

By sets do you mean pairs? Go Grey then.

Or by sets do you mean the AE sets? Go with the medium sets.

Yes, I meant the AE sets containing three pairs each. Thanks David.

Word to the wise: The AE medium front spring set includes a white spring. The rear set is grey, blue, yellow. You can order the front gray, blue, and yellow springs separately for like three dollars extra total on most sites.

You got that too huh? I spent the better part of my morning trying to decide what to buy with it. It is only $30, but hey, I wasn't expecting it. I was planning on buying FT hubs anyway, this skinned that cat. It was a good time to buy the 3x8mm set screws that I found out are somehow optional in the kit too.

Now I am just sitting here trying to figure out which direction my new hubs go when I am running B5 LCAs on my B5M with the L and R swapped

Have you considered Kyosho XGS springs?

Depends on your conditions but I generally run Gold fronts and White rears....sometimes pink rears.

Yeah when I said "Fat check" it meant about 25 dollars LOL. Just using the funds to expand my tuning options for the newly bought Factory Lite. As for those of you suggesting Kyosho springs, I appreciate the input but unless I'm looking at the wrong springs these are out of my measly 25 dollar budget.

The "0" on the hubs face the shock, left right doesn't matter.

Thanks Sean! I know on page 1 there is a Q and A about that, but I wasn't certain with running B5 control arms on a B5m if that still applied.

This answers that, thanks again for your help

Has anyone switched between lrp FLW and Orion r10.1 on their B5M and can offer any opinion on brakes and power?
