Does AE make 2 lengths of Front Springs?

I just finished building my Reflex 12 and all of the Trinity team drivers are using AE .020 front springs. I have a pile of those so I put them on. To achieve 0 preload I had to take out all but one shim above the top ball. Now the bottom of the king pin touches the inside of the rim. A shorter spring and putting the shims back would fix this.

Any Suggestions?
AE make two lengths of springs. The part numbers beginning with 4 are for 1/12 scale. The part numbers beginning with 8 are for 1/10th scale.

Get a set of IRS 1/12 kingpins. You won't have to worry about shims.
