What a mess.

But I'm cycling my new batteries and may get my first race in Saturday since I quit racing a few years ago.

My bet is the "Biffster" can still hang!

Got my Kyosho springs today. Ran orange in the front and tried dark yellow and black in the rear. Definitely feel a lot more plush than the stock springs and they don't rub the shock bodies! I think the orange/black combo worked the best.

Yeah, I'd say you can't really tell the difference..That's a whole lotta C though! My Protek 35C I just got today feels punchier than my Venom 40C, but I could be imagining it..

Here's my car with K springs if anybody's interested.

Don't entirely understand your question, but are you looking to go softer or harder?

Yeah, not really sure what you're asking, but from the spring chart that was posted Orange and black is the closest to Brown/Green

That'd be Cheech with a gigantic fat one.

I kinda like the Black and Orange, but after I ran these at the track the other night, one of my buddies is getting a set..

I laugh how everybody wants to hide there big K springs by changing the color.
If you're that fast you shouldn't have to hide your set-up I'ld rather beat a guy straight up than have some "secret"
