My point is this: most of these pro guys are so closely matched they are looking for every tiny little thing to eek out a few tenths. In that regard they will always do what's absolutely the fastest setup regardless of how common or uncommonit is.
So I wouldn't go assuming because they can drive anything they'll be rolling with an inferior setup.

I'm just saying don't assume someone else's "money" setup will be as good for you as it is for them.
I just drive what works for me. I personally have had no problems with the f/r yellow springs that I've been running for a long time now. But that suits me and the tracks I drive on.
The moral of the story is everyone uses what they use for a different reason. Experiment and find what works for you.

I was worried about the spring rate and rear travel being all jacked up from the shorter spring.
I talked to a few of my AE pro driver friends, none of them are doing the "fronts in the rear" thing. At least none that I talked to.
The majority are running yellows F/R.

Instead of the Fronts in the rear, I am thinking of just trying the red rear spring. That is the next (and last) step up in stiffness from the yellow rear, with a spring rate just a little lower than the front yellow.
I would accomodate it by increasing my shock oil by 5, effectively making it 35 front and 35 rear.
Don't know if this will work or not. Anyone have anything similar to this?

Well, I, too am running yellows F/R. I got the handling down, but I'm not 100% happy with the way the truck is jumping still. I want to give a siffer rear end a try.

trim method?
Are you saying you trim .030 off the spacer to make room for another xring? So you'd have one on top of spacer and two basically stacked on botttom?

Try using the ft springs springs on the rear and compare to the yellow or blue rear .
If you do try the ft springs in back ?
The truck will have a lot less traction and will become difficult to drive .
Making jumps will not be the problem , slipping and sliding will become a big issue instead.

But, its worth trying to see the differences for yourself if in doubt. Blue Front in the rear though I think for my driving and conditions is a tad too hard except indoors carpet.
Yeah, of course don't make bad (or maybe incorrect?) assumptions. That's usually my goal, and that's generally the problem with assumptions -- you can't avoid making the occasional bad one.
But you've been reading this thread long enough to know why I messed this one up. We have seen several examples of people on this thread giving their opinion (either positive or negative) on a part they haven't tried. Or recommending one "setup" over the other when they have not tried both. I was just happy to see you weren't falling into that trap.

Got in my 40 pins for the RC Shox Center diff. Anyone got a suggestion on how many they are using on carpet? was thinking of going with 8 initially.
