BASIC TUNNING
Springs:
By using a softer spring you will have more sag, more chassis
roll/lean, more dive and a less responsive car this might be
better on low-grip surfaces; by using a harder spring you have
less sag, less body lean, less dive and a more responsive car.
What to apply depends on driving style and grip-level surface.
This is more suitable on high-grip surfaces.
Shock-angle:
The angle at which the shocks are mounted
create a different suspension feel; the more
vertical, the harder it feels, the more horizontal,
the softer it feels.
Oil:
shockabsorber. Thinner oil will be softer, with slower response,
thicker oil will be harder dampening with faster reponse. The
more or less holes, which is an optional.
Differential:
You can make the gear differential harder or
softer by using a different oil viscosity. Lighter
oil will create a looser diff which increases
rear traction on acceleration, but also more

decreases rear traction on acceleration, but
also more on-throttle steering.
Front anti-roll bar:
By using a softer anti-roll bar you will have more sag,
more chassis roll/lean, more dive and a less responsive
car. But you will have more steering once you have
entered the corner.
Rear anti-roll bar:
B
y using a softer anti-roll bar you will
have more sag, more chassis roll/lean,
more dive and a less responsive car. But
you will have more rear traction and a
more stable car.
Front toe adjustment:
Adjusted with the track-rods, make
longer or shorter. More toe-in will create
more steering, but less stability; toe-out
will create a more stabile car, with less
steering.
Rear toe adjustment:
Adjusted with suspension blocks (optional).
More toe-in will create more traction, more stability, but
less speed.
Less toe in will create a less stabile car, with less traction
but higher speed.
