The suspension on this thing is quite fun to watch. I did some tweaks to the suspension set up and it handles small bumps like a dream as well as larger jumps. I've seen some complaining about nose dives and to be honest I only experience them when I floor it off of a short, steep take off. I've seen videos of real class 1 buggies and even trophy trucks nose diving during races. If you ask me, this thing handles very realistically for what it's supposed to be. You can even control your throttle on the take off of a jump in a way that prevents a good amount of nose diving. Not really meant to be flung off of massive jumps at full speed.

I suspect you're playing on the WCUSA dirt track? It has very steep kickers, which cause the suspension to compress very harshly. As said on the forum thread, this is an issue I've been investigating and am trying to fix in a way that doesn't cause issues in other situations.
I doubt it's a nose heaviness thing since it has a 36-64 weight distribution.
As for your mention that it cannot handle a slightly above average speed bump, that is a bit exaggerated. It's one of the few cars that I know that can go through the fairly tall speed bump tests on grid-map at more than 100kph without any damage.
I recommend giving it a try on Bajarama, which has jumps with smoother transitions, as well as runnertyler's Desert Trails, where the only vehicle that gets even close to matching it's speed is the LKS Pre-Runner.

You've reviewed it like 2 hours too early.
New version has been approved which should help a lot, using a dual damper setup with bypasses.
I'll probably still try adding a dual spring rate setup at some point.

It should be much better in the next update. I discovered I had accidentally added some pro-dive geometry to the front suspension.

Got any video of the rolling problems?
This is not something I remember happening during testing.
As for poor behavior on asphalt that's to be expected of a car that has so much suspension travel it takes nearly a second to settle itself.
I'd reccomend testing it on Bajarama and Desert Trails.
