i had my tc3's VERY hooked up with coppers in the rear and silver in the front.
i Guess its the same with the tc5 since green in the rear and silver in the front.
hey, sisnce you have issues with the silver spinges might wana use gold in the front and green in the rear?
i thought about the whole springe/oil issue but there's other ways to make a car hang in the corners my increasing traction with the rear tie-ride setups.

green rear silver front is a 1 spring rate difference front to rear (rear softer)
copper rear silver front is a 4 spring rate difference front to rear (rear MUCH stiffer)
there is no correlation at all between these two setups...
from soft to stiff it goes
green -> silver -> blue -> gold -> red -> copper ...

Just some general FYI...

Thats odd. I've never heard of anyone running stiffer springs in the rear than the front either for foam or rubber, asphalt or carpet...

Stiffest spring I have run in the rear on my TC5 is Gold..... No way would any of the setups I've tried want a harder rear than that.
Carpet with Foams I start on Purple Front / Blue Rear (as per the Snowbirds setup), Carpet with Rubber Blue Front / Silver Rear, and outdoors usually something like Gold front / Blue Rear - although I have tried Red front / Gold rear on a very high grip smooth track. Don't quite get how you are managing to make a 30lb rear spring work!

sorry peoples I'm so fucking confused on these colour codes!
I've used coppers in the rear and silvers in the front for my tc3 and it worked like a chram.
NOW i use gold front and silver rear and it hanldes so good. but i know for my own setups that a car that doesn't handle should go stiffer in the rear.
i think it deprends on temps and tired and surface. OTHER then springs and oil.
but i know thiker oil in hot weather works good also

I'm running the new bearing holders and they do help the front belt.

who would I talk to(email) at Associated about submitting a product upgrade? I have an great idea for a new CVD setup that should work in all off-road and touring applications. The design goal was to reduce wear and reduce cost when the racer had to replace worn parts.
