I need help. My M05 will not stop traction rolling on low-medium bite asphalt.

My setup is as follows:
Yellow springs (long) all around - tried blue front / yellow rear - helped the front to not dive to hard on corner entry.
15 wt AE oil - no limiters; no shock oil was better
58mm shock length
#2 hole from inner on front shock tower (blue aluminum shock tower installed)
M wheelbase (using suzuki swift body)
5mm hex hubs w 1.0 shims just for rear
rear sway bar installed - silver
ride height - I just eyeball the a-arms parallel to setup board . I tried 5mm. It didn't work. I even went lower than that. It still didn't work.
1-2 deg toe out
Tamiya S-grip premount tires

One thing I noticed is the car has too much roll. Any help is appreciated.
