Tamiya tend to colour their springs to show relative hardness, but the actual rates are different from set to set. There can be multiple sets of the same size which makes it even more confusing.

What I would do is choose a set of springs to use, and tune your car using that set alone. I use the "black short" springs which are wound differently to the "white short" or "short" sets, but at least I know which spring is relatively stiffer.

Ok thanks, explains why I really didn't see anything out there. Looking to dust off my S-Spec and run the TCS when it comes to CT. They hold it on the asphalt weather permitting. I know I was running the soft red springs, not sure if that's the way to go. Hopefully get to sort it out better than last time.
