If all you do is run on pavement, then the yellow springs, with 45 weight oil, sway bars, XTM Velos on chrome Pentos, and shock limiters would be a good set-up.

I bash around with a 1/10 touring car a lot. I run stiff springs (yellow) in back, stock 5 lb silver up front. No spacers in rear, a large spacer up front to keep CG low but add more suspension travel for the lighter spring up front. With 50K weight in both diffs combined with the shock set-up, sway bars installed and it will 4WD drift easily, just right amount of oversteer. When I had the 7.2lb? yellow springs up front pushed to much for understeer and was harder to control in tight turns . I run Velos on Gun Metal Pentos on pavement, man these tires hook up nice too.
