Hey, back when i had an mi4cx I used:
5mm droop front
6mm droop rear
Front shocks Losi 45wt oil hpi pink
Rear shocks Losi 40wt hpi silver
Rear schocks inner hole in shock tower
Roll bars std.
depending on temperature 1 more shim between bulkhead and upper link mount in the front, but just when car tends to grip roll

EDIT: Had used a completely stock mi4cx otherwise with std. Topdeck.
The track was a very high grip carpet, people hat issues that the car generated too much front grip, leading to oversteer.

And also a bit more toe-in on the rear end helped a lot to get it settled there, every mi4 driver at my track did it. (1 more shim between hinge-pin holder and Bulkhead on the very rear.)

Thank you for your help not got racing for a week i will try them bits thanks for your help buddy

What camber did you run if you can remember

thanks

Think it's -1.5° all around, maybe -1° in the front.

If you change something, try at first the inner hole in the rear shock tower, then if it's not enough increase toe-in.

And check your rear diff!
Someone had issues with an unstable car because diff was too loose.

I think it should be possible to get the car settled without changing springs and oil. These are just for faster laps if car is running

I also tried a stiffer anti-rollbar, made the car really easy to drive but didn't have enough turn for my liking.
Also the flex is really different with the other topdeck. Somebody had a cxL there and we couldn't get it running properly on that day, so i don't know if things work the same way on the other car.
