I see a few issues with the car setup.
1) They do not need a rear sway bar, not sure without digging into my old chassis setup books but it could likely of been a factor. As I recall a rear sway bar would transfer weight to the opposite side front tire.
2) Tires, OK, love sticky tires but....air pressure might of been to low and the next item on the list can be very critical.
3) Wheels, should be 8" wide for proper sidewall support, compounded again by air pressure.
4) Springs, I do not know the rates or if linear or progressive but could be a serious issue.
5) Dampers, also do not know how well they are valved to work with those springs.
Then the course layout and surface as well as driving style not being very smooth, all mitigating factors.
The main problem is most have very little understanding of proper geometry, the more one lowers a car the closer one gets to being to low, if the springs compress enough it can result in the majority if not all the weight being transferred to the outside tires like it does on a properly spring rate setup but lowered to much. The inner pickup points HAVE TO BE HIGHER than the ball joints center of rotation, simple physics.
The vast majority of modded cars are not setup properly, especially the absurd stance ones, cartoon setups that work for nothing about actual performance and most are quite dangerous, fact, not fiction.
