I've tried a bunch of different setups online but keep landing back on the following setup sheet as a starting spot.

Car Tuning Help :

Shocks (My findings / Preference)
Tried 30wt 3 hole car is too bouncy (reactive).
Like 40wt 3 hole as car becomes predictable in bumpy conditions.
If you increase front to 45wt or 50wt 3hole it reduces front steering.

To remove front steering from the car I will change the following items.
- Front spring from 17.5lbs to 19.5lbs
- Increase the front sway bar from 1.2 to 1.5
- Increase front track width (190mm) to prevent traction rolling.
- Reduce front droop to 2.5 or 1.5mm

For more rear grip keep adding 1mm shims upto 4mm to the inside rear bulkhead.

For extreamly loose surfaces (Start With Kit Setup Sheet - Try Following Ideas)
- Remove center brace (additional flex).
- Remove the rear swaybar
- Softer Springs all around 12.5lbs or 15lbs (extream case: use kit silver springs).
- Middle hole front and rear on bulkhead with no shims.
- 3mm droop all around.
- Inside shock position hole 1 all around.
- extream case : remove front swaybar - remove 2 of front top deck bulkhead screws
