I tried both, I like the Kyosho springs better IMO, I'm running yellow fronts and white rears. I was able to take the turns faster and jumps were a lot smoother.

I started on the Kyosho yellow/ white setup but felt I needed a slightly softer front spring so I tried a Losi Blue on front and liked it a little better. I dont think Kyosho springs are "better" than losi, I think its more of a tuning thing.

jamr1130, my bad. I said white fronts / red rears last week, but I just realized that they are yellow fronts / red rears. I got it mixed up with the white front / gold rears on my 2WD.
Why would you want to shave it that would weeken the structure of the bell crank i went with the hitech 7940 and it fits perfect plus it's got better tq

Anyone know what the internal ratio of the front and rear gear boxes is (ring and pinion count)?

i like running a stiffer front and the rear softer i have do to much testing with the springs I'm looking for a little stiffer in the front than stock AE and not to much stiffer in the back but also stiffer than stock
what do you think i should look at not sure where to start any help would be great

If you have alot of rc experience a 7.5 would be better and if thats not enough you can boost it a bit, but if your just starting to drive i would say a 10.5....I'm running lrp esc and lrp 6.5 boosted 1 level and its amazingly fast...
