Hi,
any tech tips if you have problems with traction rolling?
Its an T3 2012 using the standard set up on carpet.

Higher roll centers
Stiffer roll bars
Stiffer shock settings / springs
Keep the ride height to the minimum

I've always went 'softer' on the set-up. It seems counter intuitive but the thought is to let the suspension 'absorb' some of the initial roll force and keep it from transmitting it directly to the tires and therefore preventing the traction roll.

was it succesfull?
i dont think so
softer car makes it roll more

but just wait for Martins recomendations

So it seems that for some drivers softer setups really help to get rid of traction rolling. But normally you should go wider in the rear or harder on the ARBs (and maybe even on the shocks). What could help when running soft, is a short upper linkage on the rear C-hubs (inside hole). This raises the camber very progressive. Or simply glue the outer flank of the tyres. :-)

That's no joke. :-)

If a track provides that much traction that you just don't know where to go with your setup you can glue the flanks (mainly in the front).
