My car was basically perfect in my eyes, some might find it turns too much however.

Front
.18 AE springs
Green on the kingpins
2 degrees of castor
.75mm of toe
.5 degrees of camber
3.2mm ride height
Chrome BSR front tires - 39.75mm

Rear
.18 SM side springs just touching
Green in the tubes with outer ballstud spaced up 1mm
Blue AE center spring
1mm pod droop
.25mm pod sag
3.5mm ride height
Graylo BSR rear tires - 40.25mm

Misc
Proline Strakka centered on the front wheel wells
TSR 17.5 @ 103.5rollout

Some things to try if traction is medium or low:

.22 side springs, this will make the car rotate better on lower bite. Generally I run the .22's but go down as traction comes up.
1degree camber in the front, this will make the car carve through the corners better on lower traction, however on really high bite it can create some issues.


Any questions just ask!
Nice job!
