Default quick question

not sure if this has been asked before, so I will ask anyways.

I have the lazer zx5 sp edition car and love it.
It works great with the basic setup on the dirt tracks that I have tried it at, but when I tried it at our local indoor carpet track it became a handful to drive.
I am using shumacker tires all around, with blues up front and gold in the back. The traction is awesome, but that may be a problem.
If I go into the corners a little too hard or fast the car tends to barrel roll from the traction. When I take a corner one of the front wheels come up off the ground as well.

Don't remember whether or not the sp kit came with front and rear sway bars or not, but a friend of mine with a zx5 non sp kit bought a Associated BJ4 sway bar kit and installed it on his car, and with some tweaking got it working pretty good.

So my question is what should I do? Can I buy sway bars front and rear from Kyosho for my car? Try thicker oil, harder springs?
Can I lower the center of gravity on the car?

The car worked so well outside that I thought I could just bring it inside and it would be great, but I need help.

Thanks in advance.
