so far this works for me:
FRONT
1C-1C
1mm spacers under the suspension blocks
innermost hole (CF shocktower)
2nd to the outermost hole (arm)
3mm spacer on upper camberlink
400wt oil / silver HPI springs
spool
5mm wheel hex
medium sway bar
around .5-1deg toe-out
REAR
1X-1D (2deg toe)
1.5mm spacers under the suspension blocks
innermost hole (CF shock tower)
2nd to the outermost hole (arm)
2mm spacer on the upper camberlink
outermost hole on the rear upright
3mm spacer for the outer campberlink (on the rear upright)
300wt oil / blue HPI springs
alum ball diff
5mm wheel hex
softest sway bar
running 13.5 with boost, rubber tires
PF Speed6 with stock wing
not the fastest car on the track but its fun to drive...

Same thing on the rear.
I would recommend using TRF 416 carbon parts for the uprights on all four corners and all four A arms. Keep the stock kit C hubs because they flex more and can absorb more impact without breaking. With this setup, you will break a C hub in most big impacts. These are easier to change and cheaper to change than an A arm or a hinge pin.
Bottom line is something has to give in a big impact. If you make one part stronger, another part will break. When the TA-05 V2 came out with the softer plastic short reversable suspension parts, all the suspension parts were immediately snatched up by the 416 racers because they were tired of breaking stuff.

Use the carbon knuckles from the 416. Tap out the screw holes with a Tamiya 3mm tap and use longer screws. Be careful that the screws don't go too far in and hit the axle.

a tap is a tool that cuts threads into a hole. you pick the size and thread pitch you need so that you can use the corresponding screw.

Front steering knuckle 51332.
Rear upright 51333.
Short reversible suspension arm 53928.
Tap 54232.
You can use a screw to tap the hole but once you use the Tamiya tap, you will kick yourself for not getting one sooner. It's not like a normal tap that cuts threads. It's more like a screw with a triangular cross section.
Not sure on the length of the screws I ended up with in there. I would just go with 2mm longer than what the kit calls for and if it is too long, you can cut or grind it down a bit.
All of these items are available from Tamiyausa.com. You can also get them from speedtechrc.com and save a few bucks.

It's a tap for any hole you are going to put a 3mm screw into. This isn't really an issue with the parts that come with the kit but the parts that I recommended are much harder. It can be difficult to put a screw into them without tapping them out first. So on the steering knuckles you would tap out the king pin hole and the hole at the bottom. Also, the hole that you put the ball stud in for the steering arm. In the back, you would tap out the camber link attachment point hole.

Everything comes in sets of two so you will need one of everything except the suspension arms. They come with one front and one rear arm. You will need to order two of them to get four. I would probably double up on everything just to have some spares available. These things are pretty inexpensive and strangely enough, they get hard to find when you really need one.

RC TB-03 Ball Head King Pin - (Fluorine Coated)

A better "king" pin!
Plus I believe the kingpin sits a a little lower in the top of the c-hub which can be an issue with low profile rims because they tend to hit the top of the ball cup under hard rebounding if you hit a dot.
Of coarse, I never had that happen to me!
Just my 2$
