Yes for sure, maybe you should have problems when you try to put on bodies for ifs chassis, nsx, ebro, ...

Get rid of the front kick up, run the blocks flat or with 0.5mm anti dive. Using hole 2 on the front arm also increases mid corner steering, so you may just have way too much front bite with the smokem conversion.

Get rid of the tamiya springs too, yellow and red are way too soft

Also are you running no bars?

By front kick up you mean the small .5 front spacer under the block? Yes car has ridiculously front grip even before the smokem parts.

I was running blues front and yellow rears, but someone suggested me to go softer that night so I did in hopes to solve the issue. (Which I didn't wash out as much but it could be that that traction came up a little bit too)

I'm not running sway bars at the moment.

Some also suggested me to try out david jun set up from tamiya as a start up, do you agree?

This should hopefully solve your loose problems. I remember you saying you ran on ashpault? This is an asphault setup so yeah.
Tamiya springs dont work well on ashpault and running no sway bars would have caused problems. I cant remember if I added the rear diff oil in the setup but run 2000.
Important to note: front shock mounting position in the arm to hole 1 (you need to flip the arm over)
Oh and upper link position front and rear in hole 1 (middle hole)

Not having the fronts especially will make the car hook and unpredictable.

My TRF417 with an SC430 body. This fits, you will not have any problems with the BMW body.

I would try Craig's AOC setup - http://www.petitrc.com/reglages/tami...ourne20130707/

It's for a Raceberry but it won't be that far away as a starting point.

Yep I'd say just go 1mm longer RWB to account for the motor being further back than the RB
