Default Jato 3.3 shock setup help!

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me a good setup for jato 3.3 shocks setup.
ill be driving it on pavement only. Just trying to get a but more steering control and actually seeing all 4 wheels stay on the ground when taking turns very soft. Seems like the front stays down but, the back left or right comes up depending on which way I'm turning.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated
thanks clay.</span>

If it's pavement only, then use stiff settings. If you don't have sway bars, use stiff ones.

Springs - use stiffest ones and limit droop

40W oil should be in the ballpark.

I've got RPM arms on the front so I don't have the sway bar anymore in the front I'm thinkin this has major play on why I can't keep the front down as the back still has the away bar.

You can use the rpm arms with the sway bars you just have to do some modification. Do a search as I know there was a thread on how to do this.

Well i've looked through some forums about the RPM sway bar mod seems easy but, just not sure if its needed, while looking the forums &amp; youtube i was checking my car and found when i broke my stock A arm i stripped the screw that holds the turnbuckle to the top of the car.
I replaced it and put E-revo GTR Aluminum Shocks on it and it controls much better.

But, now that i've fixed the all wheels staying on the ground and even turning, I cant get it to drive straight for anything.. which leads me to believe
The actually <font class="productnamecolorLARGE colors_productname"><span itemprop="name"> Steering Bellcrank needs to be fixed.
