Also, I have this set of springs, which I thought might be for a M-chassis, but they say rally, fwd, and touring car too. Pretty confused.. not sure what I bought!



Do I have what I need, or if not exactly, can I use a combination of these for parking lot club racing? I already put the blue ones on the front of my TT-02 which can be seen in the middle of the row in this pic. It has the stock white (yellow) ones in the rear. It was advised to do a blue/yellow setup for outdoor asphalt.

Also, I think I might not be threading the bottom part that connects to the ball joint all the way. Do you thread them til they just stop, or just measure the overall length until they are all equal and adjust from there?

Thanks for any guidance!
You have the short shocks but not the short spring sets. This may be why you're having ride height issues. I suggest you look into the short spring set Tamiya part #53333 and if that does not get you low enough then you might also look at getting the lower shock spring retainers that also drop 1mm, Tamiya part #53876.
