I use to clean my car with simply a rag and some simple green, till yesterday. Bought some Pledge, the lemon scented stuff and it did a way better job than the simple green.

Oh no, we're not going to get into this debate again...I've tried a bunch of different methods for cleaning and nothing I've found works better than WD40 on a toothbrush and then blow it all off with compressed air. You can pretty much clean the entire exterior of the car that way. I do like the smell of the Pledge though.....

We run on an indoor track with few jumps medium traction.. Would I be better off going with a softer setup like pink front and rear?

I would start with white front or pink front with gold rears...If its a tighter track pink may be a better choice. A good starting point would be either of the Ryan's 2012 reedy race setups. Very close to each other but mayfields is using pink fronts.

I believe the upper collar adapters will be available within a week. The lower spring cups will take a few more weeks to finish.

Also our white hex wheels are all in, so you'll be able to get those this week as well.

Cool thanks for the update. Any idea on what the pricing will be like? Might just have to these and a few other things when they are released.

do we need to space out the shocks when using the BB springs?

No you should not have to. I have been running my car with BB springs for a while with no rubbing issues.
