From the kit setup, I went to a medium sway up front, camber link in the middle hole F/R, middle ackerman position, 2.5 rear toe, and put a 2.5mm spacer under the rear inner links. I'm running the medium roll center links with the dot up, so I think that's medium high? I tried medium low all around and lost .3.

I've got a nice thick bumper on the car (P-Dub 415), and am happy to report that even with several good whacks on the front, nothing broke. I didn't hit anything with the side of the car, but had some pretty spectacular traction rolls. These bent both of the screws in the rear holding the hinge pin mounts to the bulkhead. I'm trying longer screws in there now to see if they're better. The existing ones were pretty short.

Any suggestions on tricks to reduce traction rolling?
i may have missed it but this is on carpet, correct?
