I'm running 10,000 in the tubes, white side springs and white center spring and 50 front springs.
I'm using sticky finger traction compound with full treatment on the rear and about a 1/4 of the inside of the front tires. I tried a gold center spring that I thought would be softer and that didn't seem to help in fact it might have been a touch worse?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance..

Bob,
I'm no expert by any means but at our local track I had a similar issue.
I'm running it pretty much box stock but I did change to 0 degree caster blocks, and I'm running Yellow Rears/Black fronts, green center spring.
Switching from Chrome fronts and Grey Low rears to Black fronts and Yellow rears seemed to keep my car from doing that. I'm using SXT traction compound here, and doing full rears and 3/4 inside on the fronts. So far it seems (to me anyway) that tires are about 85% of the overall setup of the car. Give the above set a try.
