No...
We pretty much always use AE springs, for me most commonly blue front and silver rear, Phil, Neil and Bradders tend to use silver both ends. On a couple of tracks this year, Neil has used Yokomo black on the front which are a similar rate to AE silver but slightly longer and more progressive. Whatever you like to use on your B4/B4.1 will be a good starting point on your Centro.
One limitation with the AE springs is the variety in rates up front - it is quite a jump from blue to silver for example (.4 lb/in). I usually stick with blue because these are the most consistent spring I find, certainly on Astro/carpet or grass. The only time I have used Kyosho is on the clay for the Euros when I used yellow front.
The appeal of Kyosho springs is that they have a range of weights which are close together and enable fine tuning. It's fair to say some of the guys are persuing set ups using these but to say that AE are rarely used is wrong.
Enjoy your cars!
