I'm waiting for a RC/spring mfg to release "preset" and matched springs like they do in 1/10th on road. However, I doubt the general off road RC consumer is willing to pay $35+ on 2 springs. For now kyosho seems to have the most consistant nonmatched (that I know off) 1/8 buggy springs on the market.
