The Gold is 1.4.
The setup with gold springs is what I went to only after I switched to lite weight wheels. If your still a little heavy in the wheels the grey or white would still be the ticket. Also the shock oil will feel different depending on piston and shock. The goal at the T1E camp has been a shift to lite weight, lite oil, lite springs. With that said, not one of our trucks are just like another. Personal preference still shows through.
