Is the front ride slightly lower than rear??

More grip with heavy?

I have been running a 5000mah battery and I can’t seem to get the car to turn in very hard; I am running a F104 Pro. I use Shimizu 575/577 combo; kit t-plate; 2 deg camber; Soft center spring (only one I have); silver fronts (soft) heavy lube on friction disc. Mainly the rear end of the car is stiff and the front is soft.

Only suggestions I can come up with is heavier center spring and/or split upper deck.

I’m running on low grip carpet. Thoughts?
Yeah I agree with idbdoug, Change to softer fronts. 77's are VERY pushy. 74's have more bite and 71's have the most front bite.
