I have tested the f103 with the stock damper plates, single side damper and no damper. The best grip by far was with no damper. Generally speaking thicker dampening only reduces grip unless the car is bouncing in which of course it helps. Same goes for the centre shock I believe.
Also to improve the t—bar action you can use 2 o—rings, one inside the other on each hole. This will help the t—bar return.
To be honest the f103 can and still does win races against all the latest cars.
Things that help:
F104 diff
Graphite axle
Graphite lower deck
Removing damper plates altogther
Use 2 oring per hole t bar setup
Use carbon front suspension but cut standoffs and add spcers so you can adjust camber.
Things that dont work:
Ball type rear suspension
Link front suspension
Rear damper
