Having bought a BMAX4iii recently, I'm preparing it for the coming season and a set of springs is on the list so I was wondering what the difference is.

I haven't tried the YTB springs yet, but the wire used looks exactly as the wire of the X-Gear springs I had on my RT-6. The old Yokomo BM springs were coated with black paint, which is said to change spring characteristics and make them inconsistent as characteristcs are changed again with chipping paint. I can't say if the YTB springs are shorter than the new line of springs as I don't have any of these yet.
Although I'd prefer to have ratings on the spring packaging, I hardly really need them, the colour codes are sufficient for me in most cases. It is the colours that are written on the various set-up sheets out there, not the spring rate.
