Is it me or my settings? im quite skeptical at putting all the foams at the front as i wldn't want a wheelie-ing truck at the track

As for catching the rear, im actually referring to oversteering resulting in 'donuts' during corners. And again, is it me or settings? Is this characteristics typical of a 2wd?
This can be cause from many factors. Are you running the correct tires and compound for the track conditions? Are your suspension settings stock? Why not use some of the Tein expertise here?!

I would refill the shocks with high quality oils and get a T4 spring set for the from and rear. (Assuming they fit well)
