Hi Fellows

I am running a schumacher mi2 and have just about raised the cash to purchase some TRF shocks as this seems to be the way to go according to all the different threads I have read.
What I am not sure about is what make of springs to use, Tamiya, Schumacher or Associate and what improvments to the cars handling to expect, if any.

And as a starting point what coulor springs and oil thickness to use outdoors on tarmac and indoors carpet

Thanks for any advice you can give :

Associated and of course Tamiya springs fit the shocks. The advantage with the AE springs is that they go firmer than the Tamiya ones do, but if you don't need super-ultra-hard springs the Tamiya ones are just fine. For carpet, are you going to be running on foam or rubber tires?

Just ask in the Schumacher thread. Why not hold off buying those shocks for a bit, as Schumacher has new ones on thier way.

couldn't tell you, I have never run them. I know running CS-27's I have used Tamiya white and blue springs, but I just recently picked up a set of Purple and Grey Tamiya springs, their super and ultra hard springs that I want to try.
