Rear

shocks, 35wt oil, pro4 2005 spec shock piston (3 hole piston), silver spring
1mm spacers under pivot blocks, 2 degree toe block, 3 degrees total toe in with alloy "inbuilt 1 degree toe in" hubs.
5.5mm ride height

This setup was reccommended to me by HPI.

I tried it with brand new tyres and it still understeered. I put a 2.5 degree toe block on the front along with silver springs on the front shocks and my laptimes changed less than a 1/10 of a second and it still understeer.

Any suggestions? I think it may be to do with something else with car. How are other people setting the built in servo saver? I tightened mine up some more past the instruction manuals settings and have installed a 2005 Spec pro4 diff to see if that helps.
