Default RE: a few handling problems

thanks for the advice
im not breaking it in im just running it on road because to find a good offroad area i have to travel far (conveniance)
im just trying to get reasonable settings instead of bad ones and get more traction on road so i dont have no traction offroad. when i take the car on some dirt the rear gets mighty loose. but tuning offroad is probly a good idea.

stock rush has very very soft rear spring so i was running the original front shocks and harder rear spring on the back in series and the original back ones on the front. but about a week ago i took out the smaller springs from the back and put the spacer back in. so now the rear sits low and the front high.
the back has heaps of squat (nearly half shock travel (this is with harder than stock spring)) and the front virtually no squat.so shassis slopes up to front (also good for bouncing over kurbs when you hit them)
this is what you guys have been saying and it seems to work well on road but as you say it wont be a good offroad setup (jumps n bumps) as my chassis will spend more time against the ground than in the air.
