Has anyone tried different spring manufacturers with success on the ET410 shocks? Tekno springs seems larger than AE/TLR/Etc and wanted some ideas.

After switching over to HB I can confirm they are interchangeable with TEKNO.
Not sure who started it, but Tekno's 1/10 scale shocks are 13mm diameter "big bores". (SCT410.3 uses 16mm shocks). One can only assume that Team Associated will hop onboard the 13mm big bore shock band wagon with their future SC/ST platforms as they have begun to move that direction on their buggies.
Let me guess, you are worried about the gap between springs and collars?

Yeah, just wanted to tune shocks using AE springs because I have a good selection.
I stand corrected... Team Associated does now offer 13mm shock bodies/springs for their trucks. 
Man, a person takes a couple months off, and they miss out on a lot of happenings going on.

HB are making 1/10 truck springs?
I overlooked Team Associated's SC10 4x4 platform as it uses 13mm bore shocks. I just happened to be looking in the manual for parts... there they were... springs.
The stock rear springs are 63mm which lead to the "short spring thing" (adjustment collar/spring gap at full droop: like pictured below) issue that people have on their rear shocks while trying to get a low ride height. Replies are always... "This is normal. Just run it."
Common fix is to zip tie the springs to the perches so the springs won't come off the perches.
Rear springs being too short was not an issue for my ET410 since I had setup (switched to green rear springs) the mini truggy for a softer ride to handle bumpy/rutted track.
The SC10 4x4 rear springs are 76mm.
FYI... if trying to achieve low ride height on high traction surface, it's probably best to stick with Tekno's ET410 springs. My ET410 is ran at bones level for the front with rear slightly below that.
