Does sound a bit odd, were the springs new and packaged in the usual Kyosho style bag? Are your silver springs the kit springs, or did you buy the car 2nd hand (as I did with mine!)

Just thinking perhaps the light greens are ok but maybe previous owner swapped kyosho kit silvers for say Silver Losi springs which may be a bit harder and longer than Kyosho giving you the impression that the light greens are short and soft if you see what I mean?
