Well Tamiya makes (not sure if it's been released or not) a front A Block/Bridge. So that's why we use the upside down A Block up front with the C Block. Also it's something that Surikarn did. So what a pro does... one must follow.. haha But anyways, it's suppose to give you more steering. It alters the steering geometry alittle.
I'd do what Dave and FUK said for spring. RaySpeed I think are too large. I remember I was gonna try some, but didn't like the fitment of them. Anyways.. Stock setup is a good start. You can even go with Tamiya Whites up front and Blues rear. Again... all depends on track/setup.
