Cole Trickle;

In general, you will find that softer Springs are needed when switching over to a Front One-way.

My suggestion should be a good basic starting point for either, but is based on Asphalt experience. For Carpet, I am assuming better traction, so a change to a stiffer all around set-up may be needed.
Remember as you go stiffer with the Springs, they now have more energy/force to overcome the Oil dampening, so a change to thicker oil might be nessesary.

Problem with the HPI Swaybars is that they are not very effective when compared to some other Brand of Cars.

Anyways, follow your current plan for a set-up as it seems to be sound. Then we can work on the little things one at a time.
