Im pretty new to on-road and Ill be running 13.5 boosted and was looking for a starting point where I wouldnt have to go out and buy springs, suspension blocks etc.
I have a full set of tamiya springs already and plenty of different weight oils from off-road.
For what car? I haven't driven the new V5 but to answer your question..no, the stock setup is pretty bad for low traction.
This setup is for the original 417 but works for the 417x as well. It works really good, easy to drive and is very close to what I run. It works almost everywhere on asphalt and carpet with only spring and oil changes necessary. I use the stock toe blocks in the rear as opposed to the ones listed on the setup sheet.
