For carpet I put 5mm front internal spacer in the shock and 3mm in the rear. Thats with the standard TRF shocks. If you use the new M-Chassis version TRF shocks you will use much less spacer wise.

In mine and several other local mini racers opinions the sways are a must on carpet. If the car is setup right it makes a HUGE difference. As do other small things...but I am only allowed to tell so much.

My mini drives rather ok for the moment, but haven't tried the combination with swaybars.
In other words, do the swaybars make the shocks function differently?
I guess I'll find out but any info is mucho apreciated.
