Check for tweak first. Make sure the main chassis is perfectly flat. Loosen or remove the brace from the upper deck to the gearbox assembly. If its not flat on a straight edge, make sure the motor mount is seated properly. I had one car that would not sit flat and noticed a gap under the mount. Once that is flat, reattach the link and make sure it swivels easily in your fingers. It needs to be loose with no load or it pulls or pushes tweak into your setup. Put a rough setup on your car. Now if one side dips, it is a weight problem somewhere. At that point, get it on scales and see if the side to side, front to back weights are good. Better yet, if you can get 4 small scales, one for each tire, check the weight distribution on a level surface. Now put a setup on your car and check for tweak one last time.
