I got some stronger springs for my tiger1 but ended up getting the Asiatam hull so I never used them there still in the packet! Even got the metal suspension arms I wonder if the springs are the same as the the panthers?? :wtf:

springs are different. The tiger is bent outward and is a wider ring with the tab part in a different spot. The Panther is a small diameter flat and the tab is more in line with the extension part of the spring.
The heavier springs are way better than stock, clocked or not
