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!
IMO rubbing isn't a big deal. Irritating, yes, but functionally, it's not making much of a difference in the real world. Springs rubbing aren't going to cost you or make you win a race.
