AE springs are very rarely ran these days especially on the front!

Share the wealth! So what part numbers do I need??

Im running silver all round on my Vega, be interested to try the K springs out to see the difference.

Are they a nice fit on the AE V2 shocks??

No...

We pretty much always use AE springs, for me most commonly blue front and silver rear, Phil, Neil and Bradders tend to use silver both ends. On a couple of tracks this year, Neil has used Yokomo black on the front which are a similar rate to AE silver but slightly longer and more progressive. Whatever you like to use on your B4/B4.1 will be a good starting point on your Centro.

One limitation with the AE springs is the variety in rates up front - it is quite a jump from blue to silver for example (.4 lb/in). I usually stick with blue because these are the most consistent spring I find, certainly on Astro/carpet or grass. The only time I have used Kyosho is on the clay for the Euros when I used yellow front.

The appeal of Kyosho springs is that they have a range of weights which are close together and enable fine tuning. It's fair to say some of the guys are persuing set ups using these but to say that AE are rarely used is wrong.

Enjoy your cars!

Nice one Yardee, thanks for explaining

I'll stay with AE springs then, saved me a few quid!

Loved it. First time out with it & first 2wd race since the F2's and by the final I'd got my average lap time down to 0.4s off my fastest.

As Yardy says above regarding the springs. The rears on the picture above are similar to AE silvers but the colour matches my shell & wheels.

That looks suspiciously like a schumacher aerial holder.

Its a shoemaker aerial mount.
