A fantastic spool mod setup with grippy tires is Andy Moore's DHI winning setup, it worked beautifully on raceday saturday - remove the rollbars if grip isn't that fantastic as they do tend to make the car slide around a bit (still in a balanced manner though). I can't attach it as the pdf is too big but look it up on the web and it should be easy to find.
"base" setup for one-way grippy rubbers on carpet is the super-famous "1.5" setup - rolle centers raised 1.5mm via shims under all pivot blocks and ball joint holders on chassis side, 4mm ackerman, LWB all over, 40 to 50 oil all around with 3-holes 1.1mm pistons, pink springs front blue springs rear, 6mm droop front 5mm droop rear, that's with a mazda 6.
