Im currently doing up a mini and hit a problem. I have the tamiya purple shocks and the tuned springs. I have tried all 3 different piston rings with 1 2 and 3 holes, ive tried 30 40 50 and 70 weight and still the shocks are too long for the springs. they are always solid and the springs rattle around as the shocks are too long. I have seen people use the yellow front blue rear combo but cant understand how they get the shocks to be shorter so i dont have to add like 4 spacers just to get the springs to meet. (Tried without the spacer and the spring bounced and the lower spring holder fell off..

Someone told me to cut the piston rod.... But ive not seen you guys say that at all....
Please help me get my mini M3L lower. (I put reg springs on, yes they fit alot better but i can limbo under my car.. CG toooo high!!!

Thanks for help
