Converting RTR Single Spring to Dual Spring KIT Style

[cpu77]

I apologize for the newbie question.... I want to make my RTR Shocks have dual springs. I know I need Dual springs for each Shock and a small plastic spacer between them? I am doing this for looks. I eventually want to add a Hot Racing Kit. Can anyone recommend a spring rate and oil for front and rear? Thanks so much...

Are you bashing or crawling?

I am bashing but i could see some crawl/trail running. I have the 2 speed transmission coming.

Just a basher here too and did a lot of testing to get it right. FRONT I run RTR springs #31242 with 45WT oil. REAR I run kit springs #31276 and #31279 and 15WT oil. I have been using this set up for over a year and really like the performance from it. The DHAWK AL caps are a plus. In the caps I use a Team Associated bladder #89351 instead of the o-ring. CI foams are worth every penny and more. Really a game changer.
