OK I see what you mean.

I run soft on front, hard rear(ish) on bmax2 already. The car likes this.

I run med/hard front and rear of my bmax4-III on the saddle chassis. I guess Shin's advice (quoted above) is for the newer shorty chassis setup they are running?

I've picked up 6 of the 9 rates today, all that were available. Missing the front Orange and Yellow, and rear Black.

The springs are good quality. I suspect they are X-gear made, like kyosho, but to Shin's spec?

I'll do some measurements and theoretical rate calcs later, to the equation that Arn0 gave me for his charts.

If anyone is at the Euros this coming week, please can they ask him for a proper spring rate chart?
