its best to run softer front spring than rear.. and more oil weight in rear because there is more weight going on rear wheels during driving. and it also helps with cornering but depends on the track condition.. mine shows siff setup because of last track was smooth with BIG jumps and some small with sharp lip.

2. the dust guards in rear is very effctive and worth it because of front tires spins rocks, derbits etc into rear can damage the shock rod, rear driveshafts, rock lock up in between the shaft and lower arm. Plus also when the track is muddy, it helps not clog up the rear hubs, shock, and shaft.
