I dont understand "side springs" ,get this and this spring .

Use soft oil on the trf shock , like 25wt and a drop of diff oil(i use 5000wt) on the front springs/king pin.

3-5000wt oil in the side dampner is a good starting point.

Use soft t-bar like this

Pit shimzu 571/572 tires and the car should be good to go.

Thanks, I guess I got confused with the side springs on V2 and thought the x1 had the side springs as well.
