The new CRC springs seem to be dead nuts on form what I've tested. Hope this helps...
After the switch to lipo, and the massive reduction in weight, I'm pretty sure CRC "tweaked" the spring rates. They maintained the same color coding, but re-did the rates to better accommodate the reduced weight of LIPO powered vehicles. That's why the the old white is stiffer than the new red, etc.
Sometimes it's fun to run old springs to freak out other racers by making them think you're running way softer than they are, when in actuality you aren't
