Anyone using them? I only ask as we've built up our new cars, but don't have setup sheets (HobbyKing don't employ the likes of Chris Grainger). I got hold of some of the latest Xray setup sheets (to look at things like camber, toe etc) and they all seem to be running dual rate springs. And these are on HobbyKing at the moment www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__76137__TrackStar_D_Spec_Hybrid_Spring_Set_UK_Warehouse_.htmlAny thoughts? My gut feeling is that they probably do some good, but only the likes of the team drivers would ever notice.

PS. And they have a certain "bling" about them. That can only be good.

"5 different hardness spring to provide 40 different set up" Sounds like more to confuse you Tony :-)
To my mind, if they give a real advantage you'd see them on full size race cars??

I have progressive springs for my X Ray. I have used them but to be honest have not noticed a significant difference to normal springs. I am sure if you were a contender for world champion it would make a difference but not for me I'm afraid. It is extra bling though!

Are the shocks in your new car progressive as well?

No and I am not running the progressive springs in the older car either as they are a bit stiff for conditions at the moment. Might try them again when track temp gets up a bit. I think they are 2.6 to 2.8 in X Ray numbers and am running kit 2.5 all round at the moment.

Judging by the results on Facebook, the car is just fine without the progressive springs.
