Reg, if you are talking about FBF, I tired the gold springs out there with the same 4 spider diff and it worked well for me.

so far it's the highest grip surface i've found so far. it's fairly consistant all around from the years of nitro and foam residue.

Basically I realized the Lola isn't working the way it should. See lola's regularly work as when the shocks compress, it pulls the body down with it. By just using a regular lola body and no floating mount when you do get more downforce the shocks compress. Gonna find one that will fit on it and try it out.

I have never heard of anyone complaining about the handling of a Lola body. Matter of fact, try to run a Lola body in Sedan class and see how many people complain that you have a unfair advantage.
