It tractions rolls frequently and has tons of front wheel hop around sweeper but still is really pushy overall. It does not rotate well and just isn't fun to drive. I'm running the stock weight oil and I have played with rear springs and droop and nothing I do gets rid of the wheel hop. Whats a good carpet set up for this car before I give up all hope and sell it.
Traction roll and understeer at the same time?
here is my setup that worked on carpet.

-1º camber
0.5º toeout

Rear:
