ok, thicker diff oils that I understood, actually that is onother inclination from LV setup...setup said 15k oils, but I used kit 10k oils as 15k I had not aviliable...so it might be a reason.
but what I should do to get less ackerman?
should I add additional or remove 1mm spacer from steering rack?

and sure, one setup change per time, diff oils will change at home, but ackerman will test on site before the race at practice laps.
onother setup change - rear pistons stock ones 2x1.7mm -> if those I change to 2x1.9mm +thicker oils - should it affect also onpower steering?
asking it all, because car was almost good, just a bit was a lack of onpower steering and jump landing felt a bit to much pack at the rear, so thats why I think is sence to change rear pistons holes to 1.9mm... but not sure if it will not reduce onpower steerin even more...

I don't suggest cutting the springs as they can compress erratically without the end coils that are nicely finished for the spring perches. Not to mention it completely changes the spring rate.

Have you adjusted the pills in the rear hubs? Gone to short shock eyelets? Used the shortest spring mounts?

the only reason why team drives can do 15mm ride height rear and I can`t I think it`s because they use kashima bodies, but I have the stock ones...could it be so??

The kashima shock bodies shouldn't affect the ride height. Do you have the HRC hinge pin mounts installed? Can you take a picture of your suspension without the wheels/tires on? That could help us see if there's something off.

Regarding on power steering a thicker rear roll bar should also help.

I'd give a try to the N.Cragg astro setup last race and my car was pretty handle and easy to drive.
I ride it without the front upper brace.
Could I reproduce this setup on carpet ?
Will it be risky for the chassis ? (on hard landings for example )
