Default +8mm Chassis setups

There has been alot of talk on +8mm chassis setups and I have a few questions. It seems that the standard setup in the rear has not changed much. Some "fine" tuning adjustments are being made with carbon parts and the usual washers on the inner ball stud. However it seems that the front is where changes are being made. Cragg, Wynn, Mitch, and Thielke's all have setups posted on rc10.com that change the lower shock location and conversely run stiffer damping. Is this change being made to get more turn in steering? Are there any additional postives or negatives? Also for those that have run Thielke's setup it says for the front springs Kyosho Silver (AE Silver). Kyosho silvers are rated at 3.3 and Associated silver is rated at 3.85. Which is it? That is a huge difference in spring rate. Lastly for those running Thielke's setup what are you finding better than the previous setups?
