OK I have found the first weakness with this car!!! Well every car is allowed one right 
The front up stops are made of a quite flexible plastic which flexes a heck of a lot when the hex screws bottom out. Therefore trying to set the chassis from not hitting the ground is quite difficult. I am going to get the K Factory aluminium pieces which I hope will fix this........
The rear ones work very well BTW.........

I understand that the upstops are useful for stopping the chassis from slapping the ground. At our track the places where you brake heavily are also very rough meaning the front of the chassis seems to hit the ground some giving understeer. I could raise the ride height, but that would affect the handling of the car elsewhere......
Or am I going the wrong way here........

well, in that case your car stop faster without the up stop. your main chassis does the job for you.

Hmmm interesting..... I am running 4mm ride height....... Even if the track is rough you think it probably is not striking??

The track surface is not broken. The surface is wavy in some areas mayby 1/2 inch variations......
So you would not recommend using upstops..... Can you see a bad side to using them.......
