Cat K1 and Cougar KF springs

[Kurtje]

Hi all

I've got a question regarding the springs for the CAT K1 and my newly ordered Cougar KF.

What spring set is best to buy? The Core set or the Schumacher set?

I always drive on Astro or carpet tracks.

I've tried the core springs and don't like them!
That's the same for a few people I know.
They feel inconsistent and make the car unstable in my point of view.
I always try and start with 4.0 and 2.5 Schumacher and then work from there.
If you want to copy some peoples setups then you will need the core RC springs
But as far as I know most just use the schumacher ones

Unstable is my car at the moment. Coming out of a corner hitting the throttle results in a very unstable rear!

Most of the top guys at cworksop seemed to be using core springs yesterday.

How do you compare the tension of the Core springs and the Schumacher ones?

example: Core springs front goes from 2.8 until 4.0 but Schumacher goes from 2.0 until 5.0

Same at the back: Core goes from 1.8 until 2.6 but Schumacher goes from 1.6 until 4.

as an example a core blue rear at 2.4 would be 0.1 softer than a Schumacher 2.5

[Kurtje]

So the hardest Core spring (2.6) at the rear is a lot softer as the hardest Schumacher one (4.0)?
