Here is my carpet setup:

Front:
2mm ride height
2 deg toe out
Stock bump steer
Thick swaybar
70wt. oil
3 hole piston
6mm internal limiter (allows 1.5mm droop)
Blue short spring
S-Grips with Stock foam inserts with sidewalls CA'd

Rear:
2.5mm ride height
40wt. oil
3hole piston
No swaybar
4mm internal limiter (allows 3.5mm droop)
Red short spring
Type A slicks with stock foam inserts

Gear diff dry and shimmed almost to a spool.

Awesome and pretty easy to drive. It is also not tippy like most of the setups I've seen. You really have to screw a corner up to make it traction roll and most the time if it does start to tip it won't go all the way over, just lift 2 wheels. For whatever reason the tire choice and insert works realy well.
