Happy to help! 
I've been asking about Kyosho springs locally. Seems EVERYONE runs them, but I'm not sure why. Is it the progressive rates they use? Are they of a better quality? What makes them perform better? So far, no one has been able to answer with anything other than, "They work really well".
Also, are short or long Kyoshos recommended for the rear?
Thanks!

Awesome!
How did you manage to tighten the servo saver?
I'm waiting for:
- skidplates
- shock tower protection
- composite spur (a kyosho should fit..at least I hope so)
- body
I'm not in a hurry to prepare this car as I have other buggies to race with but I can't wait to get this thing on the track. If only Xray sold this specific optional BODY !

so the D8 bulldog body is a direct fit? BentKa went for a Jconcepts Finnisher and it fits almost 100% looking at the pics
let me know for the servo saver, you'll see the barrel rotates in its housing so you'll need to fix it with a set screw/ glue

Everyone in this region prefers the Kyosho spring package. I ran the Kyosho lime green up front and light blue in rear for the first few weeks w/ my xb9'13 (both short, the mediums didn't allow me to get the ride height I wanted in the rear)... and then recently switched to the progressive 3stripe/2stripe setup pretty common when I went with the RB A.D.S. inserts. I think the feel of the two spring combinations is very similar on the track.
