There are several reasons why I used Silver rear spring. Tire choice, traction level, roll centers, and driver preference. I tried using SMJ Blue, but there was too much chassis roll making it slow and sluggish in the infield. Easy to drive but not fast. I went to a harder spring (Silver) to tighten up the rear end and make the car transition faster through those sections.

I highly recommend you to buy Ryan Maker's book. It will help answer questions such as this and more.
