      afx springs can be purchased from hobby and toy stores as apair for under $2. save all u other ozzies out there from wastin time with online shops and the like. unless u live in the bush ov course. still need a trimmin’ though. Also if u differ the length of the springs (longer on the right) u can fix steering problems.

      Hmm I know its cheap but does suspension make a difference? No cars so far have really been made for off road, or carpet/lumpy surface. I dont think I need to worry about suspension when I only use my Bit Char-G on a flat surface, correct?

      But it look cool with coils, plus they work too.

      yeah hardersuspension springs help in keeping all four wheels in contact with the ground. less spin outs / better handling

      also if you car veers to one side or turns better one way you can add a harder or softer spring on that side to fix it.

      certain lighters(bic i think) have hrd springs in them u have to strech the spring to permanatly lessen the diameter of it.

      cain dont you race on tiles some times? adding medium length afx springs stops the car from flipping and loosing its orientation at every bump.

      independant suspension is what its called. i only use the bar with springs because my skyline sits 2 mm off the ground.
