Therefore, what do you guys recommend I do to fix this issue? I suppose they could be dremmeled or what not, but I would honestly rather just buy springs that work right and don't need modifications. Should I switch to Losi springs or something, and if so, what color do you guys recommend? Thanks for all of the help!
The Losi BB springs won't hit.
I run The AE green springs in the rear on most of my car's. they don't seem to touch anything when compressed.
I have used the Losi Yellow/pink rear. the yellow caused a lot of push.
If you want to use the Losi springs
The upper collars I used are Traxxas # 3768 and the lower cups are Losi TLR5095
Springs for the rear are Yellow #5167 Pink #5168.
The green AE springs work well though.
