In addition to the tamiya springs I would start by raising all of the suspension blocks except the FF block by .5mm, which will raise your RC all round making the car more stable and giving more corner speed, and will give you the antidive I mentioned which will aid stability under brakes.
I'm running a HPI Corvette(200mm) body now, but will be switching to a Porshe 911(190mm) body soon. I will change the car according to you guys advice and hopefully will be giving it a good run on sunday. I will report back with how it goes. Thanks a lot for all the info. I can't recall what shims are on the links right now, i will check and get back on that.
