Stainless is fine for any screw that presses things together. You just don't want to use them anywhere where something is hanging on them, like either the top or bottom of the shock mounts. For those locations you want to use the stronger heat treated black ones that come on the kit. Anywhere else, stainless works just fine.

Reason I ask is because I've been toying w/ rear springs trying to get traction on a very dry track here. When it was retaining water the car was dialed w/ v1 green rear barcodes and soft suburbs up front. Ever since it's dried i've been fighting rear traction. In the rear I've tried barcodes in super soft and soft (both v1 and v2), holeshots in supersoft and some supersoft suburbs with little success. I did find that the v2 barcode in supersoft w/ a soft barcode up front was the best combo but still not stable. I was toying w/ springs and was going between the yellow/pink rear spring w/ 30wt. rear and eventually went a step softer to the avid white. They helped but the rear was bottoming out on pretty much everything including a mild stepdown we've got. That unsettled the rear even more of course and made it more difficult to drive.
I've tried adding a bit more rear camber, taking some out of the front, taking a tad of anti-squat out (.5). I even geared down to see if it'd help and it didn't. I'm going to get some 1 deg. rear hubs and hope that helps.

i run .5 in my car everywhere so far. i think running that stiff of rear spring is really your problem im on kyosho golds and i dont have the same bottoming issues you speak of. i also run 27.5 oil in the rear. using spring rate is not really an effective way to keep the car from bottoming out. thats more of a piston and oil tuning situation. just my 2cents. by the way i've run my car on some of the slickest surfaces that are out there. whats your entire setup?

Post your setup, also removing the 3 screws from the side guards is a big help in gaining traction and stability. I haven't put them back since removing them
