My serpent has a very very bad twitch at the entry of a corner do I need to go heavier in the front springs?

if you post a setup it’d be quite a bit easier to make recommendations. Knowing what options parts or version of the kit would help quite a bit also.

your setup, traction sufrace, traction and your confidence level that the car has no tweak/binding/misinstalled parts and that the car has set up properly would help.

Does anyone have a good carpet setup for the evo. I am running the base carpet setup and the car feels twitchy on the front.

I assume WC kit means the new rear hubs (revised roll centre behavior).

I tend to see these kits up for sale in the marketplace on a regular basis. Do you guys feel like the kit is competitive or more like a novelty? Personally I feel like working on certain aspects of the car is really really easy. But other things I feel like are really a pain in the butt to change. For example, changing the width of the car is super easy. But changing the length of the car is a PIA. Changing the roll dampers springs are super easy. Changing the heave damper and roll damper fluid is a PIA. With the vertical top deck, changing the roll center in the front and back sometimes feels like it's way too much work compared to other cars. Thoughts?
