The spring that comes in the kit is very soft and could be longer. I found that I almost had to run the threaded collar up almost to the end of the adjustment to get the ride height to the correct level. But the car did work fine like that. I think the car can use a stiffer shock spring than the one that came in the kit. Serpent does offer several other springs which are both longer and different weights which helps address the issue. You just need to get one or all of the optional springs. I did find that a Duratrax Vendetta spring fits the Serpent S120 shock and I am currently using one of those springs until I get the optional Serpent springs.
