Looks good.

Xray also offers a variety of foam tires in different shores for the Truck in the right diameter/offset. I know they aren't easily available where you are. Just a heads up though.

I noticed with the larger skinnier foams of Sedans the additional ground clearance provided too much roll and made the truck less neutral in the air. *

If you need more spring choices, the Rc18T springs can work by replacing the bottom retainer. Mini Quake (forgot the UK name) springs work as well. Both aren't the exact sizes so you might need to have some weird looking preload on the shocks.

Hit me up if you have any more Q's.

*Edit: Also, the larger sedan tires can actually create more breakage as they can glance on pipes easier causing more backlash up the suspension. And since the diameter is further from the axle center, more sideways pressure on the hubs under these conditions.
