ARC Touring Car Springs...Identify / Compare
Hey guys,
bought a perfectly unused used TC7 Roller to get my first taste of Onroad.
The seller said the car should have ARC Springs (never heard of them). The colors are quite faded but it seems that its green and blue. Googled that stuff and they are marked as
> Green: 0,28g
> Blue 0,26g
WTF does that mean?! How do they compare to AE or Xray Springs?! (Xray Springs are the "it" thing at our track)
Thanks and nice weekend guys!

BLUE .26 are similar to Xray 2.6
Not sure about the AE spring rates but I can help you with the ARC and Xray

How do you know? But thanks anyway, that helps a lot! Are these ARC Springs high quality stuff or should I replace them....

Im a sponsored team driver for ARC USA and I had a hand with the R/D on the new 19 R11. ARC springs are high quality and all I’ve used since the 2013 ARC R10 to the current 2019 R11

There pretty close for sure tbrymer. I have a good collection of the ARC springs and have some Xray. It seems once you get over the .28 the ARC springs are little stiffer compared to the Xray. But the variance from .28 and less they all seem to be within .5 from each other. Axons and SMJ’s are money as well. But I can’t agree more, I like the ARC springs and always seem to be my go to

I think maybe 2015 or so...?
Sadly that there isn't a standardized system for the springs..

I would think so too, but comaring and knowing which springs are quite similar is so hard to know.
So in a first step (it wont impact the overall setup that much) I could use the 0.26g rear Springs insteat of my Xray 4S 2.6 Linears (rear) and the 0.28g instead of my 2.5 - 2.8 progressive ones (front?)
I think the only real difference would be progressive vs linear....

I recommend running stiffer springs in the rear, 2.6 front/2.8 rear... This will help get the car to rotate better in tight/short sections and provide more corner speed. You can try both ways but you may find faster lap times with stiffer springs in the rear. Im running .28 fronts and .30 rear but 2.6 and 2.8 is a great start
