Spring Rates
What would be a good spring setup to have on my truck?
It is a Revo 2.5R with a sway bar kit.
Details on what relative firmness each color means would be helpful (i.e. blue is medium-soft)

RE: Spring Rates
Ok, why are tan and gold recommended? I have silver on the back and blue on the front and silver out back. I am now realizing if anything I should have those in the opposite order lol. I have a sway bar kit with the black bar installed (on the Tekno kit) and I primarily plan on bashing but ofter drive on all sorts of surfaces.
What do you recommend?

RE: Spring Rates
The PE Revo runs orange in the front and gold in the back with 50K weight oil (with the sways, of course). To get the exact same setup you will also need the variable damping pistons (like $7 a set). At the moment, I am trying green in the front and tan in the rear with 60k front and 50k rear and traxxas sways. So far I really like the setup but it's all about preference and a little experimenting.
