- Z2-412RS2 Rear sway bar set
- YOKRP-083PU Race Performer Purple Front Springs
- YOKRP-084O Race Performer Rear Springs (carpet)

What did you end up modifying to get the sway bar sizes you mentioned and what tools did you use to get the proper "bend"?

Any idea on when yokomo will have proper front truck springs?

This your setup?

I run on a carpet grey ozite surface with slicks due to rule limitations or other clay tires. so slightly less traction than carpet pins.

If all goes well with UPS, should have my truck today! Schelle parts will be in today too!
Yes, that's my set-up! I used some simple needle nose pliers to modify the B-Max4 wire and took the YZ-2 front sway bars as a template. However, there is no need for the double bend and I ended up bending the wire slightly more backwards because it touched the upper arms.
Unfortunately I haven't heard anything about Yokomo truck springs other than the kit set so far. They seem decent, but are too long for running on carpet. I think I'll shoot Shin a few lines via Facebook.
