Just a minor clarification, and a build update:

I made a typo in my original post, but I guess the forum restricts editing after a certain period of time has passed. I'm running 65mm dampers from Yeah Racing, not 60mm as stated above. I started the build originally at 60mm but bumped up to 65mm after a few months, hence the confusion. Every little bit of clearance helps!

And the update-- I wanted more plush suspension than I felt I was getting with the factory Yeah Racing "soft" springs, which seem to really be best suited for on-road application. After sourcing some options from the community, I've swapped those out for 15x38mm G Made soft (green) springs from Korea, which has given a much more 'pillowy' feel to the car (more like you would get on a buggy or short-course truck), and markedly improved off-road driving characteristic. I will note they just barely fit around the shock body, but they do work nonetheless. Can recommend!
