There isn't one close to associated silvers. The new 2wd springs don't have ratings yet.
Associated silvers fronts are 3.85. The closest you'll get is a Losi blue which is 3.80 or a Kyosho Gold which is 3.87.

I'd just run the Losi springs. They're a perfect fit and a third of the price of the Kyosho ones. The softest Yokomo big bore front at the moment is extreme soft/pink which is 4.15.

As for rears, Green Associated are 1.90 so a Losi White 1.80 or a Losi yellow 2.00.

Unless anyone can't find a rating for the new 2wd springs then that's your best bet.

Dave

I took it he was talking about normal bore springs as he mentioned V2.

I have'nt had any issues with the Losi springs binding. I use Kyosho springs too.

I am using AE springs to keep continuity between my two cars and for the fact that the new BB AE springs have a great range of rates,but any of the 12mm springs should fit. However I have a couple of pairs of Durango front springs and they are too long to achieve a correct ride height even with adjuster unwound to the max so avoid these.

Thanks for the info guys, I really wanted to run yokomo springs if possible but damn near impossible to find how the spring rates compare.

Might have to buy the associated ones.

Anybody have a link to a comparison? I was hoping the yokomo super soft fronts would be comparative to the associated yellows.

On astro, I used red fronts and blue rears last year with the rear motor car. Current MR carpet set-ups include blue fronts and the new longer blues in the rear. At first, I thought that to be too soft, but after the first bench tests I think it might work.
