I have tested the blue front springs, but i am using green front spring and thats works good for me, i think the blue springs are to soft or mabye i just should have tried a little thickere oil. You can give your rear end max toe in with inserts 4 out in RR brace, that helped the rear of my car really much. I am using 8 hole conical pistons 35F and 27.5R. One thing i need to test more is shocks/shock pistons.

I ran 35 front and 27.5 rear and the car felt good but seemed to be dumping side to side a little too quickly. I went to 45 and 35 and it felt much better. This was with the 8 hole 1.2mm conical also. I tried the 6 hole 1.3 and it was ok but the additional pack with the smaller holes helped it on landing the jumps. I want to try the green front springs. What do you run for rear springs?
