Set up used
1.Blue side and shock springs.
2.020 king pin spring
3.magenta tyres all round 44mm rear and 42 front.
4.ride height 3.6mm
5.side dampers corally red
6. shock 30wt oil
7.Camber -1
8.droop 1.3mm
9.running 10.5 blinky with AMR shell.

any ideas guys.
Tire size will make the most difference

Smaller tires, with very round edges 42Rr, 40Fr, Half sauce front, full rear, apply grip additive no more than 10m on front tires, from application to run
One run per day, per set of tires
Softer roll setup, 10k side dampers, could test by removing 1 side damper to see if less damping feels better
Side springs, Silver just touching, or Black 2 turns down
Pod should be level with chassis, with full weight of car on surface, no droop front

What brand wheels are you running ?
