Front shocks more upright (out on the tower)
Rear shocks more inclined (in on the tower)
Front camber link long, higher on the tower
Rear camber link long, higher on the tower
Front camber 1 degree
Rear camber 2 degrees

The track I'm running on is a pretty smooth clay indoor track, but traction is lacking some days, especially after they water the track. I would classify the track as medium traction bordering on slippery. After reading the thread I'm thinking I should probably raise my roll center in the rear. That means taking my spacers out and LOWERING the link on the tower. That should make the rear end a bit more predictable and keep it from breaking loose so violently. It's good up to a point, but after that it rotates way too quickly.

Am I thinking correctly here? If I'm wrong please correct me and point out why.
Since you mention having trouble when the track is wet, are you running full pin tires? When the track is wet here full slicks work best, but if it gets dusty you need some pin.
