I did notice the GTP2e springs. The problem is that they are giving the spring in wire diameter and # of coils, and I need to find lb/in or N/mm. The good news is I found a few charts listing 1/8 on-road spring rates, and also a formula to convert wire diameter and # of turns (plus a few other values) into lb/in. So I should be good to go on the springs, at least a good starting point.

I have just about enough cash saved up for a body. Would love to hear opinions from you guys. I know in the end it comes down to what I like best, but always like to hear suggestions.

Here are the bodies I am choosing from: http://www.igthobbies.com/category_s/41.htm

EDIT: For anyone else looking for a good starting point for 1/8 on-road spring rate, here is the chart someone gave me. Seems like 20-60 lb/in is the average range.
