pls
Starting point L4 on carpet:
purple front, grey rear (any brand), no toe in or out at the front wheels, 1degree camber, check after every other run and adjust so the front tires wear flat. Swap left and right tires every other run, so you don't get differnces in diamter. Ride height approx 3.5mm all around. 10degree caster blocks. 30wt shock oil in center shock, green (box stock) spring.
Use traction compound. Rear tires full coating, front 1/4 on the inside. Need more steering?->more traction compound on the front tires. Need less steering? Try no traction compound at the front.
Experiment with different viscositys shock oil in the rear damper plates. Thicker oil-> car doesn't traction roll as fast, but looses steering, thinner oil-> more steering, more likely to roll over in turns.
