Default Can I pick your brains.....?

Hi guys.could do with a little help please.
I've just bought a full set of losi threaded shocks from the u.s
To fit a xxx-t.....
Right they are going to be tried on a sc10 factory team.my damper settings for the ae v2 dampers are front piston #3 45wt oil and red springs 3.90lbs
Rears are #2 piston 35wt oil and grey springs 2.33lbs.

Do losi do a similar piston and spring combo?
Do ae pistons fit losi shocks?
And do ae springs fit losi dampers?
Don't mind buying Losi parts as I like continuity.
Any help and time would be greatfull.
Or any ideas on possable settings
Thanks justin

AE pistons fit Losi shocks and vice versa. I don't think AE springs fit Losi dampers as the Losi dampers are a smidge larger outside diameter.

Losi Piston to AE equivalent
#55 = .052"----- #1 = .052"
#56 = .0465"---- #2 = .0465"
#57 = .043"----- #3 = .043"

Losi to AE Spring comparison

Hope this helps
(oOple search & Google are great )

Pete, aren't there only 2 holes in an AE piston and 3 in a Losi one?

In my experience a Losi Red (#56) feels closest to a #1 on the track
