As far as the AE shock springs go, I'm not sure why so many people like to use the AE springs, Torrance worked very hard at making the HB springs super consistent with very small weight increments between each spring to so you can basically get your car dialed in in any way you want. I would strongly suggest giving them a try, before we had the HB springs we used Kyosho springs but found the HB springs more consistent with a better feel on the track.
Thanks for the advice, I'll start with the HB springs. As for the manual setup, I was basically only referring to spacers. But yeah, I do have 3 or 4 more up to date set up sheets that I'm going to try. Can't wait to get to the track, just waiting for the body to get back from painting and do a bunch of soldering this weekend.
BTW I've seen some posts saying this car is hard to work on. I changed the whole set up from saddle to shorty last night in roughly 1 hour. I find it fairly easy to work on. Hard is replacing tranny gears on a Baja 5SC
