3.5lb springs (Losi)

He said that he never runs anything other than 4lb springs at the front and I should return to the Shcumacher springs rather than run Losi.

However, Im confused because surely the 4lb is a HEAVIER spring so my balance between the oil (damping) and the spring (rebound) will be further out of whack?

I guess I just dont know how the shocks should feel when the oil and spring are balanced correctly. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Thanks!
The pistons are as important. What are you using?
