The Kyosho cars are very well supported for spares now and I'd say that all the good model shops carry the Kyosho range. I get most of my racing kit as a whole from Dom @ DC Racing including my Kyosho stuff and have never had a problem with availability ..... well only when the problem has been out of his hands with FDL.
Where are you racing?
The reason I ask is that it'll make a difference to what you need for the car.
Assuming your UK based........
Springs wise you'll need #70 silver fronts (2 pairs so you can cut one pair) and aside from the kit #70 silver rears I would get the #68 and #72 purple and blue springs.
It might be worth getting a full set of yellow springs in case you need to soften things up a little.
If your running indoors on carpet get the #75 light green fronts and the #80 green rears
As far as upgrades are concerned I would recomend the following
Atomic Carbon rear tower
Ceramic diff balls
Ti turnbuckls
I would also consider the wider rear end (la243 arms and 65.5mm driveshafts) although that is a personal preference thing and not necessary.
Hope that helps
