The changes I made helped smooth out the car a lot, our track is very bumpy.
Should I stiffen up both the front springs and oil you think?
when you said all over the place, I figured you meant twitchy. Not bouncing all over. I run indoor on a pretty bumpy track. I also use AE red/white springs, but I am running 1.3x4 pistons front and rear. My car is pretty planted over the bumps. otherwise,m my setup was pretty much box stock. I just slapped on Ty's reedy setup, but with 1.3x4 pistons with 42.5/37.5 oils. Since i dont have 2 hole pistons yet.
