Sucks to hear you have had so many problems. I've been running only 4s with the 14t pinion and the only thing besides the wing I've had to replace is the deans plug connector with a real one.

I'm still not feeling the front bumper since it does stick to far out for my liking. After seeing your pictures I'm totally getting the rear bumper! With no wing, I need all the help back there.

I'm really really tempted to get the back bumper. Myself like most with the Kraton, I'm running wingless in the back so it would help to take more of the abuse.

Has anyone got theirs installed yet?

You may have gotten the wrong Associated springs. I have them on my Kraton and they work and fit perfectly. I'll check and see if I still have the part numbers to reference.
