If you run the friction shocks then spring kit 53333 should do the trick if you put a 5mm spacer ( fuel hose) like tony says on rc-mini.net. If you are going to use the super mini oil shocks then get the short spring: 56630-56631-56632.

Please refer to posts #8176-8177-8181 wich aren't that far back.

Hope this will help you, I've been through this step already and this is what the guys sugested.

Don't forget about the ride height it is VERY IMPORTANT!

Have fun
Thanks for the reply Starteur, but it didn't really answer my question

So my Q is, would all the springs out of these 2 set be different stiffness's? or I get just 53440 set (seeing as there's a extra spring!)

Tamiya (#53163) On-Road Tuned Spring Set
Tamiya (#53440) On-Road Turned Hard Spring Set
For me it doesn't matter if I'm running friction or oil shocks (which is what I'm running ) the springs should still do the job they intended to do!

I just need to know if all the springs out of them 2 sets above are different in there stiffness (no idea what other word to use there sorry )

If they are the same then there's NO use in me buying the 2 sets, I may as well just buy the 53440 set as that has a extra spring

Cheers
