I got the car used and it has Yellow springs in the rear and Blue in the front. im recently having a issue with traction roll and I was told a cure was to use less Traction goop on my fronts. my question is with the Trans-Am cars since there a "slower" class will changing my front springs make a diffrence or is that somthing for more advanced drivers? I have Purple and Violet springs to stiffen it up but would I be just chaseing a never ending battle and just stick with what it has.
Look just above you.. there is a TA tuning thread. Check it out.

I don't really have a specific answer for you but can say that spring changes will have an effect as will the amount you goop the tires. If you goop a little less and its still tippy then some other setup change is necessary. I'll let someone a little better with setup take you further.
