When I reverted back to an old school type of setup, the car was smoother and managed traction roll a lot better. This setup reminds me of that.

The Yokomo springs were really good on carpet. The main thing I noticed you run significantly less droop with them to keep any wild weight transfer in check.

This is just what I experienced though. Unfortunately, I never found a carpet setup I was totally happy with. Asphalt is a different story. My car has been pretty good so far. I'll give it another crack this upcoming carpet season.
