With my amateurish measurements, using a Gforce Spring Rate Gauge, I found them to be about 14 lbs or close to C2.5. I hope someone can measure them with a better instrument to confirm or correct me. FYI, I also measured the SMJ springs and for sure, comparatively, the 419X black springs are softer than the SMJ Blue short. As always, I reserve the right to be wrong. 
Hope that helps though.

Sorry about that. I'm on carpet. I was running 3k in the diff and after a crash managed to damage that diff. My spare was prepped with 7000, since that is what everyone has been running. They're also running front diff with 2.5 mill where as I'm still with a spool.
With both 3k and 7k the rear was still coming around off power.

I have just built one classic 419 diff with orange oring and one 419x with black oring + 9mm pins. I will let you know...

Indeed 419x diff is not exactly the same. I have just realized when building that pins are 1mm longer. Somebody said he was using longer pins to avoid leaking so finally it should be a step forward done by tamiya regarding leaking problems.

Its most probably your driver thats worn down or the wrong size. I built the kit and have no problem with the screws included in the kit. They were a very snug fit on 2.5, 2.0 and 1.5mm hex

Can someone please explain to me how the stabilizers work? In Step 19, it says to secure the stabilizer using BC24 & BC2 but not to tight that the stabilizer won't move. What is the purpose of BC24? If it isn't holding the stabilizer firm, that what is it doing? Should there be a little gap between BC24 and BC2 so the stabilizer has room to move?

As for the BC2 grub screws, they are there to stop the bar moving fore/aft. So, not tight enough to interfere with the bar rotating.

BC24 stops the stabilizer from moving left-right. There's an option part that is a little easier to setup: http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/radio...-stopper-42295
