I may try a heavier shock oil, and see what happens next time. I only have the Tamiya clear oil that came with my CVA shocks from another kit, I think it's #900, I can try that with 2 or 3 hole piston for the same effect?
You can change the oil in your shock but you might want to play with the "T" bar first.
I run the spacer up front and "O" ring in the back. The front screw is tight. and then i tighten down the rear screw and back it off a turn. Do a few laps and if it still dosent have the grip in the rear you need loosen it some more and do a few more laps. If it under steers then tighten it a bit. A half turn can make a world of difference. Just carry a screw driver in your back pocket.
I also run the friction shock on my car.
Most people run an oil shock but it dosent make as much as a difference as you might think. The "T" bar does most of the work.
Good luck
