Thanks! Those are a bit above my price range ($25), and I was looking for just the coils/springs

Did you fix your steering servo and overheating issues?

If you go with stiffer Springs you're going to have to go with an aluminum shock body or the Caps will continue to blow off of your shocks.

I have extra springs that I would send you for free. Just PM me what's your address and I'll send them to you

Haven't fixed it yet, I still need the bearings. I guess we'll see if that solves the problem!

The guys doing 150-170 mph use the GTR shocks/springs.
find the part number for the GTR shocks from the ultimate edition then swap in the revo springs. They have a xx long for the rear and I believe it was long for the front. For springs the revo springs below would be great.
Part #5442 Spring, shock (GTR) (4.9 rate silver) (std. front 120mm)
Part #5443 Spring, shock (GTR) (5.4 rate pink)
Part #5444 Spring, shock (GTR) (5.9 rate blue) (std. rear 120mm)
Part #5445 Spring, shock (GTR) (6.4 rate purple)
