Try 35wt in the front for starters...i would think 30wt in the rear should be fine. Also if you have a ride height gauge, try starting at 28mm front & rear. The kyosho blue springs should be fine front & rear. Give that a shot, it should help at least a little. AE also has some 1.1 pistons & I think the rc8.2 comes with the 5 hole 1.1 & 5 hole 1.2 right? Those are good all around pistons to run, you could also try those, the more pack with the 5 - 1.1 holes would help aswell.
