Tuning Methode

I will explain how I tune step by step. I usually start with the worst setting, and start increase/reduce step by step:
Spring rate - 2/2
Ride height - max/max
Damper b - 10/10
Damper r - 10/10
Camber - 0/0
Toe - 0/0
Stabilizer - 1/1
BBC - 24/24
Gear default
LSD - 1/1/1
Tire - supersoft.

Spring rate


  • Consider your priorities, do you like roll or not? If you don't you can use spring as high as possible. But its important to feel what the car behave under very low spring rate.
  • drive with very low spring rate, notice how the car lean or handle. If the car feel front heavy increase the front spring, increase rear if rear heavy. But remember that the handling of spring with large differences between front and rear can be different on every car.
  • increase the spring, stop if the car become uncontrollable. Jiggle can be reduce with damping, you can keep increase if it happen.
  • try experimenting with +4 front or +4 rear or -4 front or -4 rear, use the best handling one, reduce the difference if its too much.

Camber


  • start from zero front and rear camber.
  • we have to find what camber value is optimal for current suspension setup. Increasing camber will increase lateral traction until up to certain point where it will be reduce instead.
  • tune front camber first, use a step higher, like 1.0/0.0 and then drive the car.
  • use double of previous value, like 2.0/0.0 and then drive the car.
  • repeat until you feel loss of traction.
  • use zero camber again, drive the car and compare.
  • lower or raise the value until you find camber that have the same loss traction as zero camber (keep driving alternately between zero and tested camber)
  • use the half of the final value as your final front camber.
  • do the same thing for rear camber. But we can add more or less to neutralize handling
  • adjust the other suspension to match current handling
  • repeat the procedure from step 1
  • try both direction when you feel the car unneutral, ex. if the car understeer try both increasing and decreasing front camber and also increasing and decreasing rear camber.
  • if you are not sure try testing with double value.
  • always compare to zero camber and reverse value to see if you are doing it right.
  • it's common to do many lap just to tune the camber.
