I liked the feel of the bigger/longer spring.

The dampener tubes were raised 1/2" on the graphite side plates.
Then I mounted them on the top of the upper pod graphite plate.
The rear graphite side plates had to be raised to .65" in order to give enough room to move the side springs over the links. (you can use 5/8 standoffs and a washer).

To sum it up...

When I did this, the car would have alot of chassis roll, but wouldn't diff out or become upset in the turns on a high bite track. I can drive it like a 1/12
Dosn't moving the springs out stiffen the effect of the springs = less roll? With the springs outword, there is less leverage between the pod and chassis isn't there?
